Do dentists have a Professional Association in India? If so, contact that organization, otherwise ask some local dentists for information / advice.

Which is the most respected/rigorous Int'l Health Master of Public Health: Tulane, Emory or Minnesota

Which is the most respected/rigorous Int'l Health Master of Public Health: Tulane, Emory or Minnesota?
I've been accepted to Tulane & Emory (Int'l health MPH) and Minnesota (Nutrition MPH with global concentration). I need to decide which to attend, and soon. The city doesn't matter too much to me--I'll be too busy to do much and I can find things I like anywhere. I already did undergrad at Tulane and even though it's post-Katrina NOLA, that's ok. I figure I'll be pretty absorbed in study. What I can't find out is which of these schools is the most respected in the International Health arena. I plan to work internationally and wonder if it matters. If anyone went to these schools, can you give me a run-down of the pros and cons? It's difficult to get a straight answer from some of the university student groups. Also, though it's not too important, if anyone knows the U.S. News & WR grad school rankings of these schools, I'd appreciate knowing! Thanks for your help!

Health statistics are extremely important, so taking statistics in a degree program like these is critical. Most of the careers in these fields are either in government (local, state or federal) or in nonprofit organizations.

What can I do with a Master's in HPER ? Is it similar to a Master's public health

What can I do with a Master's in HPER ? Is it similar to a Master's public health?
What can I do with a Master's in HPER ? Is it similar to a Master's public health? HPER stands for Health, Physical Education, and Recreation. I was just wondering, because there isn't any Master's program in public health close in the area that I live. The only option is a master's HPER. So I'm just trying to decide if I should move to a different area where they offer M.S in public health or not.

No, that HPER program isn't going to cover all the stuff you will learn in a master's level public health program. MPH (yes, public health has its own masters title -- it is an interdisciplinary subject) programs include biostats, epidemiology and infectious diseases on top of the health education and programs/policy curriculum you would get in HPER. What do YOU want to do in public health? If you wanted to work with community groups and schools in chronic disease prevention, the HPER might be a better option. But if you wanted to look at infectious disease, disease surveillance, environmental health or policy making, a MPH might be worth the move.
