  1. Hi I've been accepted and plan to attend a very small PhD in biomedical science program in the state of LA, my advisor told me going here would be okay as long as I get a good post doc. Does anyone know of successful researchers who've gone to little tiny no name schools? I am interested in a project here... there are about 70 biomedical Phd students total across 8 departments..
  2. Thank you for the reply, I'm adding UM to my list. Can you speak on the differences between MPH and MSPH. I was told the MSPH is usually a dead end degree ( highest level of education one gets). Because I would like to stay in research I was thinking it would be the best option.
  3. As most of us are aware the application season is well underway for fall 2020 graduate programs. I'm having a lot of difficulty deciding the type of program I want to apply to. I currently work as a lab tech for a major research institution in the united states. I am starting my second year here and this is the only research experience I have with one publication under my belt. I work in an immunology lab and we do a lot of cell/molecular based research. I enjoy my work here a lot but I often feel as if I'm missing the bigger picture. As such I've started to think about a research career in Epidemiology. However I do still hold a strong interest in how our biological factors (genetics etc) combined with environmental factors (nutrition etc.) contribute to health disparities and health outcomes. So instead of applying to immunology Phd programs (which I've already begun to do), I've been thinking of getting a PhD in Epidemiology hopefully there are programs that include some aspect of molecular biology in their epi programs (I've found one thus far) The other thing is I need a MPH or MsPH in order to be accepted into most Phd Programs for epidemiology. I'd like to keep my focus quantitative and research based. I hesitate to apply for masters because I have no experience in public health and do not want to waste time or money if public health field is not what i thought. I need to make a decision quickly so I can get applications in asap. Any insight you can provide is greatly appreciated.
