A lot of people have been asking if they /international students can practice dentistry after MPH in US? The answer is - only if they have completed a Dental course/BDS in home country and then after doing a DPH residency after MPH course. For more details please check this... kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJ6rlYtnn7B8iMk

[@ABC-tm9ze]

To get in any masters program in usa like mph/mha/mba does they need 3.0 gpa ie 85% after mbbs from india Does it means in mbbs we need to get 85% which means likely university topper?? Is it so difficult to get acceptes in mha/mph/mba in usa??? Getting 65-70% is also very difficult in mbbs!!!!! Please guide me on this!!!

[@sameerabegum6075]

Hi mam i found first video abt mhm n abt usa I have same dream to pursue my ms in healthcare administration I already completed masters in hospital management here in india work with 2hospitals in operations

[@arpitsh1111]

Can one apply to these courses, while doing internship (mbbs) where we haven’t yet got the completion certificate ? Or should we go about applying after everything? Can you also throw light on the current STEM OPT programs, tips on finding jobs after graduation… thanks!!

[@DrSamthedentisthomie]

@arpitsh1111 , A completion certificate comes after internship but the transcripts for the earlier years can be obtained before. For ECE evaluations transcripts are needed and if applying to clinical courses then a completion certificate too. For non clinical may apply before completion and mention awaiting completion date.

[@samwisegamjee599]

Hi .....I know comparatively DDS has more output but ..... can u please tell is MPH or MHA salary less or is ther any issue ? why almost every one take it as bridge course?

[@DrSamthedentisthomie]

@Aanchal Mishra, it doesn't need to be a bridge course. It could be a final destination as well depending on people's choices. The compensation difference does absolutely exist and is comparable to the student loans and stress as well. Every job will have different types and amounts of stress. While choosing you have to take into consideration how much debt/investment and stress one is willing to get into and what is one's ambition.

Some of the schools have MHA programs where you have to select certain subjects like for eg. Biostatistics which are considered under STEM. So try taking those subjects in schools. I know it's hard @Abhi Reddy but try schools with this in mind.

[@pallavi81100]

Dr Sam, can I practice in private practice or own a clinic if I do my DPH residency in Texas after MPH ?

[@DrSamthedentisthomie]

@Pallavi Karigowda , You need a sponsor for working! If a private practice owner is able to sponsor you then yes if they are ok filing insurances in the owners name. Ownership needs you to be GC holder or citizen for the huge loan. But all insurance companies need DDS or DMD credentials to be accepted. So it might be hard to file insurance in your name as an owner.

hello maam this was the great video that i had ever watched since i started my search regarding healthcare i have few questions like i wanted to know the slight difference between healthcare and hospital administration that you had mentioned im stuck in between them what to take and one more is what is the stay back period for these courses that would be helpful if u clarify this

[@DrSamthedentisthomie]

Hey Prathyusha Devareddy, One of the main differences between the two degrees is that with an MPH, students learn to look at the social context of health-including social determinants of health, care inequities, and cultural competency in healthcare-while an MHA student learns how to manage the business aspects of healthcare. Stay back periods can be course dependent. Mostly if it is a 2yrs STEM course with certain specific majors then you get a 24 month stay back period.
