I have worked in multiple laboratories in NIH and will be starting my DMD PHD program at my school.
I came back to my university to work as a research assistant in a new lab. My PI and I started from scratch and bought and installed all the equipment.
I have been pretty productive so at this rate, I should be able to publish as a first author and add two more co-author papers.
I click very well with my current PI at my university and with everyone in the lab.
When i start my combined program, i need to first finish the three years of dental school. After these years, though not required, i am expected to spend my first year doing rotations in multiple laboratories while doing my fourth year dental school 2.5 days per week. However, I don't feel much need for doing rotations when my PHD program.
It's possible in my program to not to spend an entire year doing rotation if one had worked in the lab for a significant amount of time and had been productive.
What do you guys thinking about me not doing rotations? I would rather go back and collect more data, continue expand on my current project and make myself more competitive for the NIH F30 grant.
