Is the PhD better than the MD?? (Penn MD/PhD 4th Year Reflects)

In this video, I discuss my experiences so far doing my PhD vs my MD. I just finished two years of my MD and one year of my Bioengineering PhD at UPenn.
👨🏻‍⚕‍👨🏻‍🔬🩺🔬 ABOUT ME:
My name is Royce, and I'm a THIRD year MD/PhD medical student at the University of Pennsylvania (PhD in Bioengineering). For now, I plan to be a surgeon-scientist (OPHTHALMOLOGY). I make videos about medicine, productivity, and lifestyle.

One year of my PhD down… two to six more to go!

[@OscarJuvera]

Is UPenn's MD-PhD 10 years? Most schools follow 2-4-2 structure.
