I think its true that many schools place varying emphasis on the type of MD-PhD they want to produce. In my limited knowledge, schools like Duke seem to want to produce PHYSICIAN-Scientists, while Hopkins leans more towards SCIENTIST.
Those of you who have some knowledge of the intricacies of higher tier MDPhD programs, what have you found? Do most schools want to train PhDs with some medical experience? Personally, I am very interested in research, but clinical aspects are more important to me. Are there other strong schools that are interested in training MDs with research experience, rather than PhDs with medical knowledge?
