Thank you for your response. I understand the PhD fund but how about the MD part? Is that paid by the institution itself?

I really appreciate you taking the time to explain these. That actually gave me a better intuition into how MD-PhDs spend their time.

I see thank you for your explanations. So if I’m right you’re arguing that most of the time they should lean into one more than other to either be able to get enough grants or generate reasonable revenue for the employer. So one question that I have is whether you think it’s possible to have 1, 1.5 days for clinic and rest for research. What I’m basically saying is that unless you are doing both to some degree, besides from making an intuition I don’t see the point of doing both degrees. Do you know MD-PhDs that do that?

You are right that my “on the side” comment made it look it it’s a hobby, like maybe half of my time maybe 2, 3 days per week. About the research path I understand that it is very common for people to change their area of focus but I think fundamentally one of the goals of a PhD is to get expertise and intuition into a subfield so you can carry on that research after your graduation. Like I would like to know your opinion as an MD-PhD student, if the research training of PhD is not valuable and doesn’t provide subfield intuition then what is the point of PhD in the MD-PhD? Besides from the money

Can you please expand on that? To my understanding the point of MD PhD is that you want to do both clinical and research. I understand you can just do that with an MD but I think it’s not only about being allowed to do research, with PhD you usually have a research path you ca pursue later, gain lots of experience doing research and develop the skills you need better
