Howdy!
I'm an international medical graduate fresh out of medical school. I was wondering if it would be possible to do an MS or PhD during residency or fellowship training. I'm aware of the APSA website and some of the other threads on this forum but I was looking for something that may not necessarily be an integral part of the residency or fellowship degree itself. As an IMG, the prospects for entering into a regular residency or fellowship are much higher for me than a research-track-residency or fellowship.
I've no prior BS/MS/PhD education. Went to med school straight out of high school.
I'm interesting in a long term career in academic medicine and research. Was wondering if it would be possible to pursue MS/PhD training in:
I'm looking to develop a rigorous understanding in these areas, rather than get bogged down by a one-off, half-baked research study as part of some random research-track-residency year. I think I'm much more comfortable with the formal teaching method than a research-track-residency or fellowship.
Any links to resources would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
