I have pretty much made up my mind about quitting PhD portion of my MD/PhD program. This is unfortunate and I would have never thought that I would be in this position just a few years back. I feel like it will be unlikely that I will finish my PhD on my own terms. I know now I enjoy the clinic much more -- not that I don't enjoy research, but the circumstances are not in any way ideal.
How many students make the transition from MD/PhD programs to MD only? And what do you think about this kind of attrition in MD/PhD programs? Also if anyone has suggestions or comments I am open to them. I could pm details if you are interested in them.
