Taking into account that it was completed at a fairly prestigious university, at least tangentially-related to medicine, and helped a person get some publications and patient experience? As many of you know I'm a 2nd year PhD student, but while I'm learning a ton and enjoying what I do I ultimately don't want to go into the field in which I'm training (although it would be an acceptable second choice to med school if that didn't work out). Unfortunately I was never pre-med in college and applied to PhD programs right out of undergrad without realizing exactly what I was getting into.
My boyfriend is an MSTP student and has said that the faculty in his med school have repeatedly bragged that people came into the school already having a PhD, but I can't see how it would help a person a lot more than having some impressive work experience. Or am I off here?
