???
on the Stanford secondary, if you want to do academic research, you check off the "academic medicine" choice. It's that easy. That's the sector of medicine you'd be going to if you wanted to do academic research.
That's pretty much what I said. I worked at a med school for 8 years and the only faculty that do strictly reserach do not have MDs, they have PhDs. But, there are many, many MDs who do research but they are also required to do teaching. I have never seen an MD do nothing but research at a school; what would be the point of getting an MD ?
