Are you in an integrated MD/PhD program, or did you do an MD first and then a PhD in medical sciences? I heard the former is much less likely since it's way more competitive. The Medical school that I hope to apply for by the Summer doesn't do an integrated program, rather you get an MD then go into a PhD for medical sciences. What's your focus, if you don't mind me asking?
Hi! A 2nd year in an MSTP program. This is pretty accurate! You really need the mindset of enjoying the journey rather than the destination to get through such a long training program though.
Greetings and best wishes to Kevin and his team. I was really hoping for a video called “so you want to be a pharmacist” or pharmacologist. Hoping this series isn’t discontinued, Would that be possible to do?
Quite interesting this is the pathway in America since here in Australia to be a medical scientist is actually it’s own separate degree in university we actually have a degree known as laboratory medicine which when you graduate allows you to be a medical scientist
This is a pathway after being a doctor. The path you are talking about is Medical Lab Scientist which doesn’t require you being a doctor here and has its own major and pathway as well. Some names it goes by here in the U.S. are Medical Lab technician (2 YEAR DEGREE) , Medical Lab Technologist, Clinical Lab scientist, Medical Lab Scientist (4 YEAR DEGREE)
@@Abdelrahman_here I don't know any off the top of my head. I know a few though and my impressions are to do as many of the following to increase your chances of success: Do as much research as you can (high school, university, medical school, residency, fellowship). Work at an academic center (virtually all have a required research and teaching component which makes having a lab much easier than other routes). Publish and fight for grants (the more successful you are here the more successful you will be in convincing a hospital to keep you hired with less clinic duties). Choose a more research friendly residency (e.g. pathology, medical genetics, or radiation oncology). If possible complete a research track residency which includes additional protected research time built in (some even include things like getting an MPH in the process). Hire a competent research scientist who can run the lab in your stead when in the hospital. All this being said...Decades back it was much easier to do this successfully. Today, if you want a leg up, apply to an MD/PhD program and grind through the PhD. This shows that you are a safer investment in research and can speak both the 'languages" of medicine and science (or whatever the PhD is in).
Yes but it is harder to convince an institution or grant giving agency to choose your work over MD/PhDs. At least on average. There are plenty of full time research MDs
As an attending, depends on your contract negotiation. For residency, it depends on your program. The average I've seen was around 14 total days off, but can't be all taken at once. You'd have to schedule it in blocks with your program.

As a 3rd year MD PHD this is damn accurate

Yes but it is harder to convince an institution or grant giving agency to choose your work over MD/PhDs. At least on average. There are plenty of full time research MDs
@@guillermoflores3199 do you need programming skills and more pharmacology for that?
