Does having an MPH help??!!

[doc3341]

Does having an MPH do anything for you when applying to Derm residency programs? My school has a program for med students, and I was just wondering if it would be worth my time?

Thanks for the input.

An MPH in itself will not help,unless the rest of the application would otherwise be competitive.If one was such an applicant then an MPH with a focus on cutaneous issues or ID,or occupational health etc would be of value and might get attention, if the applicant showed serious interest and/or research in the above.
But it wont make an applicant stand out on its own.
