Education and Career Forum

Hi,

I am a dentist from India with one year internship completed and now working in a private clinic. Though my future plans are to give national dental board exams but right now I am looking for masters in Canada. Is it better to go for MPH program or for MSc in public health program?
Also the scope of MPH, MSc and Dentistry in Canada?

That's a great question. Both MPH and MSc in Public Health are great programs, and the best one for you will depend on your specific interests and career goals.
MPH programs typically focus on the social and environmental determinants of health, while MSc programs in Public Health typically focus on the biological and clinical aspects of public health. If you are interested in working in public health policy or research, then an MPH program may be a better fit for you. If you are interested in working in clinical public health, such as epidemiology or preventive medicine, then an MSc program in Public Health may be a better fit for you.



The scope of MPH, MSc, and Dentistry in Canada is quite good. There are many job opportunities in the public health sector, as well as in the private sector for dentists. However, it is important to note that the job market for dentists is becoming increasingly competitive, so it is important to have a strong academic record and relevant work experience.[/COLOR]
