Hi all

I am considering going the double degree route. Is anyone else? I want to practice medicine but I was also thinking of having some research on the side perhaps. Plus what if later on I don't want to do the DO thing (fat chance but who knows) and so I sign up with CDC as a PI or somethin. My Dr.PH would get me going places too. I dunno...just my thoughts..
