Hi All,

Anesthesiologist can always do clinical research/trials . However Im not sure about our position in Biomedical research !!!?

Im interested in Biomedical research and I think it carries more potential than clinical ons..

Im looking forward to secure a part time/full time research position at a Biomedical Research institute, however Im not sure if my qualification as an anesthesiologist after completing residency will be looked favorably upon compared to a Phd candidtate ???

Any insights from you guys
...!!😕
 
Probably depends, at least to some extent, on your research experience. If you've successfully completed clinical trials as first author (i.e., a really meaningful first authorship, where you designed the study and carried it to completion while answering a useful question) then I could see that being valuable to a research lab. Extra points if you have experience and success obtaining grants, which is a never-ending battle for researchers.

If your experience is all on the clinical side, it's going to be more of an uphill battle.

I see your point . I presume that a clinical research fellowship might help , yet its still a clinical research rather than a basic science/molecular research where all the excitement of discovering a new anesthetic agent :idea:
 
If you want to be successful as a full or near full time basic science, bench researcher, I don't think you have much of a chance without a PhD.
Even a 3 year clinical research fellowship won't prepare you for the job.
Do you have years of productive basic science research in your work history? If not start looking at PhD programs.

I think this will be the case then to go for a PhD.
