I'm curious, do all MD's conduct research throughout their career? Or can some MD's just focus on patient care and not conduct research at all?
I understand that research is important nowadays for med-school applications, residency applications, and even fellowships. But as an attending, is research absolutely necessary? What do MD's gain from publishing their research?
