So I couldn't find an extensive thread on this topic, and it is something that I've been curious about. I personally foresee myself in academics, but I'm wondering what type of opportunities are out there in industry for MD-PhDs?
There is some vague information at: http://www.mdphds.org/guide/postgrad.php
For example, I would imagine that pharmaceutical companies could use people for the translational work for actually getting drugs to people... but I haven't heard of or seen specific examples of this or other examples of MD-PhDs uses in industry. I've seen plenty of example of pharma contracting people in academics to do this type of work.... but that isn't exactly working in industry full-time.
If someone out there is familiar with this topic, I'm sure it would be beneficial to many potential applicants out there.
Thanks.
