I'm considering pursuing the MD/PhD option, and was wondering what the possibilities were after becoming an MD/PhD.
I understand that most are research doctors, but does that mean you are part of a clinical residency in a specific specialty after graduation? After becoming a doctor, are you restricted to research, or can you choose to treat and diagnose patients as a normal MD would? I am interested in research, but would also like to have patient interaction.
