Where can i apply for a 2-track program i.e. pediatric residency & masters in public health at the same time


Where can i apply for a 2-track program i.e. pediatric residency & masters in public health at the same time?
I am a recently licensed physician interested in public heath. But i still want to train as a pediatrician. I've heard of 2-track programs but they're not that popular yet. Where can i apply? Or ask to learn more about it? Is there a program in New York?

Have you discussed this with your classmates? Typical residencies involve an extreme number of hours on the job each week, and very little rest time. It is so rigorous that I seriously doubt you would have any time to attend classes, and certainly no time or energy to study. Finish your pediatric residency first, and then apply for a masters program in public health if you still feel the need. Check out this link, which I got by going to www.petersons.com then asking for a graduate school with a masters program in public health in New York: http://www.petersons.com/GradChannel/code/AcdSearchResults.asp?sponsor=1 I did a google search for "pediatric residency program new york" with the following results: http://www.stbarnabashospital.org/PME/PedsResidency.htm http://www.nycornell.org/pediatrics/residencies.html http://www.nymc.edu/GME/residencies.asp http://www.med.nyu.edu/pediatrics/residency/p://www.downstate.edu/peds/pedresidencyprogram.html Here's a site that actually ranks all the available programs: http://www.residentphysician.com/Pediatrics_rankings.htm Hope it all works out for you.
