right after we receive our MD and PhD degrees, do most of you plan to do a residency and a post-grad fellowship at the same time? or does one come before the other?
Well, I've finished work for both degrees and I'll be starting residency this summer. Usually residency and fellowship are sequential events rather being intermixed. For instance, you have short-track residency programs which shorten the clinical residency portion to speed you into a fellowship afterwards. There were these so called "fast-track" programs in the past which involved intermingling research and residency (i.e., you had your own lab while you were doing your clinical duties). But these programs fell out of vogue quite a while ago (as I am told).adoggie said:right after we receive our MD and PhD degrees, do most of you plan to do a residency and a post-grad fellowship at the same time? or does one come before the other?
I find it sad that I can relate to this...mjs said:Phase I: get two doctoral degrees.

Like the underpants gnomes, we have a lot to figure out.
