How are the career options different for someone with an MPH vs preventive medicine?
Typically, someone who is trained in Preventive Medicine is a physician or veterinarian, where as an MD or DVM isn’t a requirement for an MPH. So the career options are widely different. An MPH allows one to work on policy, in research, or perhaps as an epidemiologist or environmental science specialist in a local health department. A Preventive Medicine doctor can do that and practice clinically (or not practice clinically, as many choose).
