Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone has any insight as to which way is the best to go. I know some doctors that didn't do the PhD portion in medical school and just did a fellowship after their residency in order to perform research as a physician. What are the pros and cons to each option and is it worth it to get the PhD?
I know as a woman going into medicine one doctor that I shadowed said that during her fellowship she was able to have her kids as it was a lot more relaxed.
