what can you do with an mph and what jobs can you get???

im confused also, dont know if i should pursue residency again or look for different options ala mph...

Being living in VA has nothing to do with your situation as you should have applied to many programs allover the country. I believe MPH is going to help. Go for it and good luck!

By starting MPH next fall, you would not have completed even one semester by the time you apply for next match in September; so it won't be helpful in that regard. I think best is to do research experience in a hospital; this gives you both research experience and the potential for clinical experience.
