What are you talking about - MPH or residency?

Thanks for the reply
I am talking about the chances for the residency in clinical service and chances of residency in Public heath ( I think there are residencies in public heath as well right?)
I have one year of clinical experience and two years of Public heath related experience(one year PH plus clinical and one year PH completely)
Please advice!!

There are no residencies for MPH. Your chances of getting into residency depends upon your score, your visa options (if you need it), your residency field, preference location etc.

Thanks for that Smile

Does that mean I score good in 1 2CK and pass CS , chances are good right?
I was worried about my being old grad when I would be applying would be 2009.
I think I should go for it then.
If my would be having the residency and if I apply through couple match will that increase my chances?
btw I meant preventive medicine residency (Public Heath).
and last thing I wanna know is what programs are there that I can easily get the residency I know one is Family Med I dont know of others please advice!!

yes, scores are one of the factor.

couple matching might decrease/increase depending upon the scores of your BF. some hospitals dont like couple matching.

Am I correct about preventive med residency : Is it easy to get in there ?
Asking it cause I have 1 year experience in clinical and 3 years of experience in PH.
What about Fam med easy tuff ??
(All provided scores are good no preference is made for the college and visa)

I am not aware of preventive medical residency.

family medicine is least competitive residency.
