<p>I have college left to finish but im starting to look forward towards my career and post-collegiate education. I've become increasingly interested in political psychology, intelligence analysis, government in general. I feel like having an MD (certified in psychiatry) and a PhD in government or the like would be useful, not just to further my education in the field but looking down the road if i decide to change careers mid-life etc. My concern is that getting and MD/PhD in unrelated fields seems rather difficult. I know schools like Harvard offer M.D./M.P.P deals but i think Id like to take it further. I know about MSTP, but no one makes specific reference to MD/PhD studies in non-hard sciences. Any input from anyone with some experience</p>
<p>I too have a similar interests in your careers except change gov to business. I think that if you really like government then you should focuc not so much on psychiatry (although it does leave you something to fall back on) as social psychology. I believe these would benefit each other a little more symbioticly.</p>

<p>Is a little blurb about Harvard's social psychology program.</p>
<p>Yea, true, but I'm really not interested in just the social psychological aspects, im interested in the underlying physiological mechanisms as well. Im looking into the UChicago MeSH program, anyone heard of it or know anything about it? How does Chicago stack up against Yale and Harvard for example?</p>
