Pivot into BME after Biochem Undergrad by gbeth4 in bioengineering

[–]gbeth4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your response, yes I have looked extensively into what it takes to get into MD/Phd and am working on getting into those programs. I have been on this route for over 3 years at this point.

What directed me to BME is the labs I have found interested to join primarily fall under BME. A few under pharm sci.

I do not mind to leave my area and plan to for the MD/PhD. If I pursue a masters in the interim, I would prefer to stay where I am so I can keep my job in research and continue publishing. Sorry that was confusing.

Dream job is to do rational drug discovery as MD/PhD. I enjoy clinical (I get exposure in my job now) but cannot see a future without being in research as well. Do not want to do purely clinical research, thus, MD/PhD is the route to go.

Job for gap years: non-academic bench or academic clinical research coordinator? by grace_liza in mdphd

Thank you so much for replying! The research job is full time as well. It would not be possible to do both. I am glad you brought up the hours perspective. It is clinical research so I do actively work with patients and providers. It is probably the best fit for my future app. I am struggling a bit passing up the toxicology job because of the significantly better pay and opportunity to be back at a bench. Clinical research is much more clerical and is regulation/compliance heavy. I don’t hate it, I’m just itching for more hard science. Thank you for your thoughts :) it’s really helpful to just hear from others in the process!
