Which is better lab or clinical research for a clinician? Is clinical research as intellectually satisfying as lab research?

This is a very subjective question...not sure that you'll find what you are looking for

How are you defining "better"?

It's so hard to answer your question because it is a matter of opinion and temperament. Not to mention experiences can greatly vary. My medical school made all of us experience both before graduation for at least three months. I highly recommend you try both too.

Agree with getting your feet wet with both if possible. I started off in the more basic science type research, now I'm doing an epidemiology grad program and have had some involvement in clinical research. I like each quite a bit, though for very different reasons.
