How strong a healthcare background do I need to apply successfully for the MBA/MPH?
You need to use your application to make a case for why you are interested in health management, and what skills you have acquired to date which will make your transition possible. For example, a recent student had no professional healthcare experience, but had done volunteer work in hospices and wanted to pursue a career dealing with aging. Another student had no professional or volunteer background, but was able to make a convincing case that her personal health experiences gave her insights into the industry.
