Hi all,
Has anyone out there made the switch / transition from an MD program to MD/PhD? I was just accepted into an MD program (after applying MD only) and in the year since first applying I have really been enjoying the research I have been involved in. Would it be possible to apply now to join a joint MD/PhD program at the school where I'm accepted? I don't know if already being accepted to an MD program would help or hurt my chances. I have several years full time in a lab with good pubs, etc., so i should be good on the experience end of things. Probably some of this is program dependent so i will be contacting the school directly, but wanted to gather some thoughts here as well. Thanks for the help!
