Hey Guys!
I am pretty much dead set on doing a residency (oncology to be exact) and I am wondering how much obtaining a dual degree would help during the matching process. My school has a pharmacotherapy gateway program that is specifically designed to make a student a stronger candidate, but the guy who gave the presentation on the program sort of hinted that dual degrees might be better.
I am considering going for an MS but I am afraid that doing so would prevent me from being able to work, hold leadership positions, network in the hospital, attend national meetings, and so on. It's causing me a great deal of stress to decide what is best so any help is greatly appreciated!
