Hi Guys,

I'm a first-year MD-PhD student studying cognitive neurosci. I've identified the lab I want to work with, so it's time for me to order those requisite business cards.

I was wondering what other MD-PhD students put on their business cards.

I was thinking "MD-PhD Candidate" but I'm not sure what the general consensus is.

Thanks!

Perhaps you are jumping the gun a little bit? I never had a business card throughout my MSTP . . . I always thought it was a little pretentious. During intern year, frankly, I didn't WANT any of my patients to be able to contact me. But I finally got them during my residency (program paid) since it is an outpatient speciality

But, if you ar insistent "MD/PhD Candidate" sounds better to m than "MD/PhD Student." YMMV.

I wasn't intending it for patients but instead as a good way to have people contact me when I meet them at conferences and what not.

Thanks for the reply!

If you're going to put it on there, go with "Candidate".

"Tool" would also be an appropriate title on the business card of someone in grad school.

I'd say that you merit a business card when you have an office (or desk) with your own telephone.

Watch "American Psycho" for business card ideas.
