what would you do with MPH? To be honest if your going to quit and change path, there isnt much you can get into with MPH there arent many jobs.
I'd look into PA programs instead. Its 30 months but the salary is very good, it will be a breeze since youve done medical school already, its respectable, lots of job opportunity.

MPH is going to improve your CV. Go for it.

talking to a lot of people. you can ask anyone. the only good MPH does is if you plan on reapplying for residency than it looks good having the advanced degree. but career wise, what jobs do you think youll get doing MPH? I mean you can try to go into hospital admin through MPH but generally those are given more to Americans

I think if you consider applying again, MPH is not a bad idea it will improve your cv. Try to get better LORs.

I have an MPH. There are jobs out there, not many though but the pay is ridiculous. MPH is not the right choice. I agree with the other posters, PA is much better.
First of all, don't give up. If you want to pursue another path, PA is the best option and while doing it keep applying for residency. Your PA experience will help you a lot. pay for PA is great.

Thank you@ nini13 for your advise...what kind of jobs are available with MPH degree? i am considering PA also , do you know any good PA Programs around NJ or NY , do they give extra credits to IMG's? i was checking rutgers but that is not giving extra credits to IMG'S . Does anybody knows how much is the fees for full course?
