I've agonized over this as well.
My solutions:
1) Word my essays so this doesn't come up. I have been very successful at this.
2) Many schools write "an MD/PhD". It also flows off the tongue. Therefore, when I find myself with no other recourse, I write "an MD/PhD".

haha. I'm so glad I'm not the only one! thanks

You should always preface letters that sound like they start with a vowel, (M= em) with an. Therefore, I am pursuing an MD/PhD, not a JD. Of course if we switched things up I guess we could call it a Phd/MD...

An, for the reason Picklesali gave.
BTW, Pick, your profile looks pretty d*** competitive to me. 👍
It's "an"
if it were spelled out dictionary spellings of these abbreviations:
emm dee / PhD
starts witha vowel, must be an.
WHABAM!
