you are wasting 6 years of your life if you get a PhD. ANY MD with an interest in research can launch a successful research career (especially clinical research, if that is your ultimate goal). You do not need a PhD to do this.

Apply to med school, do research as an M1. If you realize that research is your true passion, switch to a Phd. However, it sounds like a phd is absolutely unnecessary to your goals in life
