The PI is out for a conference this week and I've been helping out a fellow with putting together graphs. I will admit, I have a lot of free time on my hands, a little too much, and I've been trying to keep myself entertained. Today I was able to meet with a MD/PhD student and many questions were answered.
MSTP websites are rather vague and I wasn't sure what the duel degrees would exactly allow. I was told that after the completion of the program, many medical scientist go into their residency. During the duration of this, research is conducted at Happy Hospital. I was glad to hear that research would parallel the residency years. Furthermore, the MD/PhD student told me that fellowship programs are starting to provide "fast track" programs where fellows take less time on internal surgery and focus more time on their specialty. Ideally after training, medical scientist are set to have a clinical practice and a basic research lab as well.
Hardcore, intense, and everything else, but this is exactly what I want to do. I'm excited.
