    Hi, thank you for the lesson! Can you please explain why MD is doctor of medicine? Why not medicine of doctor?

    • @RoyceDong
      @RoyceDong  3 роки тому +7

      MD is abbreviated after the Latin version of medical doctor, which is "Medicinae Doctor". Thanks for watching!

    So you seem like you'll be cooler than an ordinary MD, but what's the next step up?

    • @RoyceDong
      @RoyceDong  3 роки тому +5

      Good question! My opinion is that, even though an MD/PhD has an extra degree, there's actually no hierarchy here. Having an MD vs an MD/PhD just means a different career, i.e. physician vs physician scientist, but one's not necessarily better than the other. It just comes down to personal preference on career path!

    Just wondering what’s the chance for an undergrad student with a degree in math or stats to get in to an MD/PhD program? Is it going to be way harder than the regular PhD program?

    • @RoyceDong
      @RoyceDong  3 роки тому +1

      One of my majors was in physics, and I know of plenty of other MD/PhD students (at Penn and peer institutions) who have majored in physics, math, etc and not biology or biochemistry. I would say your major doesn’t make a difference, as long as your research is at least tangentially related to medicine (my undergrad research was in bio photonics and biophysics). By the way, I have a video on my entire AMCAS med school application that talks about this kind of stuff.
      So the bottom line is that majoring in math or stats will be no different than majoring in bio for MD/PhD admissions; however, keep in mind that MD/PhD programs in general are way harder to get into than PhD programs bc you have to get into med school in addition to the PhD program.

    • @alexguo2970
      @alexguo2970 3 роки тому

      @@RoyceDong thanks for you reply! But I’m thinking about UNC’s Biostats PhD-MD program and it’s actually offered through its school of public health, so I think it would be not too much difference between applying Biostats PhD or PhD-MD right?

    • @RoyceDong
      @RoyceDong  3 роки тому

      Hi Alex, I’m actually not too familiar with the program but I’d assume the UNC program is comparable to any other MD-PhD program with regard to its difficulty in admissions. So my answer is still the same: applying to a Biostats MD-PhD will be *harder* than a Biostats PhD because you have to take the MCAT and get into medical school in addition to graduate school.
