Masters in Clinical Research - Columbia or JH?


Recommended Posts

hello, everyone. I'm a MD from Brazil (didn't take the USMLE yet) and I'm taking a masters in Clinical Research. After very thorough analysis of places I was admitted to, I now see myself between these two options. Can someone advise me? Their tuitions are very similar.

Johns Hopkins: MHS in Clinical Investigation

1) cheaper living cost

2) non-thesis

3) 1 year, which means spending half of the money - same content, but with classes every day full-time.

4) possibility of automatic migration to the PhD track, but that would probably require me to take USMLE. 

5) better reputed public health school (is that true? I only know what people say in Brazil lol)

Columbia:

1) NYC!

2) chances of getting on-campus housing as an international student 

3) I know some people there (few, but possible supervisors), vs knowing absolutely nobody in JH. 

4) not as much workload as in JH

5) bigger university with a larger range of different people

6) 2 years with more spare time, which means greater possibility of knowing people and making contacts 

help meeeee!!
