All Branch Topic (ABT) Army match, MPH of benefit?

[Medic741]

Seriously considering enrolling in my school's (DMU) dual degree MPH program. It does come with a $20k price tag...

Can anyone shed light on whether an MPH would give a competitive edge come match time for EM/anesthesia programs? Or would this would be a waste of money and time. Thanks so much for the great info available on this forum, we really appreciate all the attendings who visit and give us guidance/feedback at the start of our careers.

No...not in eitherof those fields, but no. Time better spent studying for boards/research, money better spent on away rotations/conferences/vacation.
