I suppose this is a couple of questions, but here goes...

1. Would many residencies allow you to complete a PhD after receiving an MD/MS.
and/or
2. Would many residencies allow you to complete an MS after an MD?

I only know of two ways people get PhDs after medical school - 1. Robert Wood Johnson Fellowship and 2. Wait until you're an attending. Not saying it can't be done other ways but residency is pretty demanding of your time.

I thought there were a decent number of Residency/Fellowship programs that lead to a PhD along with BC. (In an increased time frame over a pure residency of course.)
