Hi,
I'm new here. I'm glad I found this board, and was hoping someone could help me sort through the world of graduate medical education. I've talked to a few people (mainly professors of programs) who can't give me a straight answer, so hopefully someone here can share their knowledge/experience. What I really want to do is research diseases. Should I go through med school or just go the PhD path in microbiology or biochemistry...?? Would having an MD really give me more options? What about a MD/PhD, would I live to see my graduation? (ok, now there are more questions here than you care to look at...so pick one!)
Thanks!
