So I understand MD-PhD applications up to the primaries. Just one or two extra essays through AMCAS.
But let's say I get past their secondaries, too (hypothetical!) and I get an interview invite. How do these work for MD-PhD?
Do I interview MD separately and PhD separately? If so, how do they choose which PhD people will grill me on my research? Is it based on similar research interests? Or do I have to look into the departments myself and choose (kind of like normal graduate school applications)? Or is it a combined interview with MD PhD faculty?
I assume the MD portion is the same as regular MD applications. What do they ask in the PhD portion? And is whatever I say in the interview binding? If I say that I did a lot of type A research so I can see myself having a career in that field, but I also have curiosity about type B field, am I forever restricted to type A research?
Thanks!
