How do I receive a Master of Public Health (M.P.H.)?
Currently I am an undergraduate who is planning to major in Biology. Can I just get an MPH, or is an MPH always part of a joint program (MD/MPH, for example)? Does Biology, as a major, seem ok to get into a school with MPH program? Also, how long will it take me to get my MPH?

Talk to your academic adviser. I cannot stress the importance of this enough. They will make sure you don't waste time and money taking classes that don't help you reach your goals. If he or she does not personally know, they will know with whom to speak to find out what you need to know. David E Cook Journalism Instructor www.selfteachingresources.com

Actually, you don't have to leave clinical medicine behind. I work with many medical epidemiologists. They do consultations (mostly ID consults since I work in infectious disease epidemiology). Some do clinical rotations on the side. the rest do interact with patients from time to time, such as when dealing with more exotic cases. They also have to be up to par with clinical medicine because they are assigned as first responders -- in the event of a major health emergency, they need to be on scene to treat victims. In case you DO want to leave clinical practice behind, there is a lot of opportunity in the research realm. I'm not sure how your wages are, but having a MPH degree entitles me to better pay compared to a mere baccalaureate degree. different branches of public health command different wages. Health education does not pay very well. Epidemiology pays much more. I do encourage you to pursue the MPH degree. The coursework is short and can be completed quickly (I finished my education in 14 months).

gpa was 3.47 in poli sci before taking a science minor that brought my overall gpa to 2.81 .... im in the mph program ... all the law schools ive seen look at udergrade gpa and seem to consider masters as extra credit rather than a major consideration for acceptance.. Which schools offer me the best option for acceptance?

What you're seeing is true. Law schools look at your undergraduate GPA and your LSAT first, and your grad work is considered an added plus. But it won't override a low undergrad GPA or low LSAT. Your LSAT is very low, to be entirely honest, and your GPA isn't helping you. You will be lucky to get into a tier 4 law school, and those are the ones I'd have you focus on. Those in tier 3 that I think you stand any sort of a shot at are Howard, Loyola New Orleans, and Ohio Northern U. Those are all a reach. The tier 4s are also a reach for you. There, I'd have you look at: Appalachian School of Law, Ave Maria School of Law, Barry U, Florida Coastal School of Law, Mississippi College, Nova Southeastern, Oklahoma City U, St. Mary's U (TX), St. Thomas U (FL), Texas Southern U, Thomas Jefferson School of Law, Thomas M. Cooley Law School, U Dayton, U Detroit Mercy, U North Dakota, U District of Columbia, and Whittier Law School. North Carolina Central U is of special note to you, because of all those, that's the one you have the best shot at. Your GPA is in line for all of those, but your LSAT is low for every single one. I'd have you seriously consider doing one of the LSAT prep books, and retake the LSAT. If you can even bring your LSAT up into the upper 140s, you'll be a better fit for the schools I mentioned. As you are right now, I have no confidence that you'll be admitted to any ABA approved law school.

How challenging would a Master of Public Health program be for a Biology major / Chemistry minor
How challenging would a Master of Public Health program be for a Biology major / Chemistry minor?
I just started my Masters program in Biomedical Engineering and it's way over my head, mainly due to the very advanced molecular biochemistry and engineering courses (I've never had any engineering classes before - just basic physics). My other choice was MPH, and I've already been accepted to such a program, but chose the BME one instead. I am now strongly considering switching into the MPH program. However, I don't want to get myself into the same situation. I graduated with a Bio major and Chem minor. I've had introductory statistics as part of that coursework, and have taken a few random public health electives. Does anyone know if I would be getting into something I'm not prepared for again, or would this be something I am more prepared for?

That depends, sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't, I went on a job interview once and I was way over my head, I spit out an "INSANE" salary request to get out of the interview, and the guy interviewing me went "O.K we can match or beat that", I had to call later, refuse and thank him. I was a wizz in "BIO", a counsler suggested a course heavy in "BIO", and I was lost (DNA, and Viral studies), had to drop it, keep huntin kid, you'll find your "Nitch", Good luck, study hard.

Public Health deals more with people, community and diseases. It prepares you to work for government organizations, non-profit organizations, hospitals, clinics, etc. I don't believe this may be as challenging as your Biomedical Engineering program, but you will have to work with people (not molecules) and this definitely could be challenging. Do you have a strong interest in this field? Do you want to make a change in your community? Do you like to work with people? If the answer is yes, then go for it.

I already have a Master of Science in Health Care Administration and I currently work for the state health department in administration. I hope to work for the CDC one day. Does it make sense to obtain a MPH degree in order to make myself more marketable to the CDC?

I have a MPH; I am an epidemiologist for a major metropolitan health department. The MPH is a very versatile degree, but it really depends on what you want to do. Anyone can work for the CDC -- they need epis as much as they need janitors. And they need health admin folks like you to help them with policy development aspects of public health. I think a MPH would come in handy for you if you want to be able to do research and evaluation. If you study epi in a MPH program, then you can take health data, analyze it and process it into reports to support. Then the reports can be used to guide health care policies in the future. As for marketability, I think an epidemiology background is most marketable to the CDC, but does that necessitate another degree? not really. I know Epidemiology Intelligence Surveillance (EIS) Officers who don't have MPH or public health-specific degrees (nurses, nutritionists, etc). It's a personal bias, but I think having a MPH is a good thing; so if you want it, go for it. Will it make you more marketable? Not necessarily. But it will make you eligible for more positions at the CDC. It will also diversify your skills. And agian, it's my bias, but I think epidemiology is WAAAAAY more interesting than health admin.
