Need some help Dr. Cox

[jue]

hi i was wondering if in your opinion it would be possible to complete a PhD program simultaneously with a surgery residency. i mean i know that surgery residents have long hours but say you wanted to take a PhD program do you think you would have enough time to do it(if you spaced it over the five years of your residency). thanks.

Sorry, i'm not Kimberli, but i will try to answer your question anyway.

There is definitely no time to complete a PhD simultaneously with a gen surg residency. HOwever, most programs will allow you a couple years off to do a PhD during your residency. I will add years on to your program though.
