several baylor students i know are taking a year off and getting an MPH. It is perceived to have an advantage for residencies.

"That’s kind of funny. They must want to stay above the crass realities of money. lol "

OP is talking money here. He is liable to slip up and say the same thing about why he did an MBA. Although medicine is higher paying field, no one in residency application process wants someone around motivated by money. I actually hear a lot of doctors mention the sentiment that if your goal is to make money, there may be better choices out there.
