PhD 4 yrs then decide MD

Hey MacGyver,

Sources please? I'm surprised by the numbers.

Some schools will let you out of classes if you pass the final. So for a few people, an MD/PhD program is 1 year of continuous cramming, a few years of benchwork, and then 1-2 years in the clinic.

Also, you could work continuously through those first 2 years and conceivably get out of there in about six.

What's the hurry?
