GWU - International Health/Health Policy

[LetGo of TheEgo]

If you have opinions about these concentrations at GWU's School of Public Health and Health Services please share them in this thread. I havent met with the admissions staff but plan to shortly and I honestly dont know which questions to ask so I thought an open discussion would be better than nothing.

I've done 15 units at GW and I'd avoid them if you have other options. They're one of the most expensive schools in the country, but that cost didn't translate into a better "product", at least for me.

One teacher I worked with was great, but the program I was in was disorganized and some of the teaching was pretty bad.

Hopkins is almost undisputed as the leader in International Health-emphasis MPH programs, and is right nearby GW. I'd highly recommend them based on numerous friends who have completed their IH program.

BTW - I left GW with great grades. I'm not some lazy slacker that didn't like the work. They just really aren't worth the money (especially considering the IM field - NOT a lucrative one).
