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

As such, I want to know the opportunities avaialable after the course and scope of this masters and is it worth doing it at this stage of my career. Thanks in advance for all your answers.

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).

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.
