How do you begin to narrow down your research interests? I'm going to be entering an MD/PhD program this year and while I am excited about biological science research (probably moreso than clinical practice), I need to find a way to start eliminating research areas. I've spent 5 years total split between 4 different labs in very different areas of science and have no idea which direction to go at the moment.
My main questions are: do you plan on doing your PhD in an area directly or indirectly related to your research experiences or try something completely new? and how do you plan on coming up with professors to work with for your rotations?
Any current and former students who went through this would be really appreciated as well.
