My thought is in a big mess now. That's why I come here and hopefully I will find a way out to reorganize it.
My research advisor is going to NIH in Jan. When he accepted me as his student (since May), he told me that he could not be my academic advisor since he will be leaving for NIH soon. However, I thought as long as I start doing research with him, I will impress him and he will change his mind.
Now the half semester is gone already and I start to worry about it. I figure that if he doesn't accept me, I won't be able to keep doing the same research in med school and won't not be supported as RA. My goal is to apply for MD whenever I am done with my PhD.(I have not told him yet since it's premature.) But now it seems that there is an obstacle in front of me.
If he accepts me, I will be in good shape (I will keep doing the same research and stay in the top in this field). If not, then I have to find someone else who is in medical field again and that will take long time. (so the effort I put last year would be in vain. And the new people I find might not be as competitive as my current research advisor.)
Anyway, any suggestions?
