Right. Three weeks into O&G run and I'm like 
I'm down-under and seriously thinking about internal medicine-pathology joint programmes. Such as clinical haematology+haematopathology, endocrinology+chemical pathology, and infectious diseases+microbiology.
However one question that galls me....
"But aren't you just a lab tech then?"
And what's the difference between a microbiology PhD with clinical microbiology fellowship vs. a pathologist with clinical microbiology fellowship? I guess what I'm asking is, how much can a PhD with clinical fellowship can do, compared to an MD?
