3 options:

(1) Apply for MPH and most likely get an F1 visa via the university's immigration office. During that time you can clear your boards. The F1 expires after completion of MPH; you have 90 day grace period to find another visa status, otherwise you must return to home country.

(2) Apply for Fulbright Scholarship (assuming you have MPH university admission letter) and get J1 visa status. You may have to check if there is a 2 year "return to home country policy"

(3) Apply for B visa (tourist/business visa) good for 2 years but you can only be in the USA for 6 months at a time.

Good luck!
