Hi,
I am reaching out on a limb to try to gain some insight as to what the "top" psychiatric epidemiology program(s) is/are. I've done research on what schools are conducting research in that subspeciality and are "good" public health programs. However, it's such a niche specialty that I can't seem to really find opinions on it, so I'm hoping someone can help me with my decision.
I am currently waiting to hear back on final decisions for the MPH programs I applied to.
I got into (MPH): Emory, Columbia, Pitt, WashU, Florida
Waiting to hear from (ScM, MPH): Harvard, Johns Hopkins, VCU
I am a career changer and am not 100% sure what I will do after my MPH. I am seriously considering medical school, but may end up working full time or going for my PhD. Therefore, in a program I am looking for:

I am a career changer and am not 100% sure what I will do after my MPH. I am seriously considering medical school, but may end up working full time or going for my PhD. Therefore, in a program I am looking for:
- Strong psych epi research/curriculum/opportunities
- Opportunities for research on the master's level, bonus if it's also in the med school
- Good state to establish residency for further education
- Good city/state for employment opportunities after graduation and/or the school has strong placement history for graduates (open to moving)
- Excellent reputation, for public health and overall academics/research/health programs
- Keeping loans to a minimum (WashU has given me a scholarship, Pitt offers no MPH funding, waiting to hear from the others)
