i am in the process of getting my MPH right now...i graduated from med school last year and will start residnecy in july. i am very happy with the way i decided to do it...some of the pressure was off since i already graduated from med school, i was way more motivated and prepared academically compared to the older physicians coming back to school, and i had more time than the fellows in the program. and i scored an excellent residency....it really all worked out perfect (minus the additional debt, but who's counting?)
