Ok, I searched around the archives and didn't find a current answer. For all the MD/PhDs applying to residency, have you found any consensus on how to list your MD/PhD? You appear to have two options:
1) List the PhD under the "Education" section, and the MD under the "Medical Education" section, with the completion dates of each (if different)...
2) Under "Medical Education", select "Combined MD/PhD"
It seems either method would work, but it seems like #1 might run the risk of a program or reviewer "missing" the fact that you were in an MD/PhD program. Also, I know in some programs you are considered to recieve both degrees upon completion of the MD, which makes #2 seem correct...
any advice is appreciated...
