looks badass. So does the Jacobs Medical Center. Check them out sometime. I'm excited
Hey guys, just a current undergrad trying very hard to decide between PhD only vs MD/PhD. Wanted to explain some of my background, motivations, and see if anyone can clear up any misconceptions I have. Originally started as a Bio major but majoring in computer science (no computational biology program here unfortunately). I'm very interested in pursuing quantitative applications to medical science, such as bioinformatics, AI/ML discovery, rigorous data science crosses, etc.
As a kid all the way into my freshman year of college, I dreamed of becoming a doctor, specifically an oncologist. Growing up, I had the perception that physicians are on the forefront of discovering the latest treatments, cures, and doing research - of course, this is probably a more accurate version of researchers (PhD's), and perhaps to a lesser extent, research scientists (MD/PhD's). I've been told that going to medical school is purely to train for a profession where your job is "hitting patients in the knee 90% of the time" and there's hardly any critical thinking and moreso a regurgitation of 10,000+'s of flashcards - likely a gross oversimplification, but hope you get my point.
I guess I always imagined even if you're simply memorizing facts, they would still carry over and provide a great foundation when you're doing biological research. However, I've been told if anything, this is only a hinderance to the research process, where you're constantly questioning & challenging the status quo, and you should only pursue an MD if you REALLY want to deal with patient care. Don't get me wrong - this is still an aspect I would've wanted to, but given my personality & interests, it also sounds counterproductive and it's hard to discern if I genuinely want to do it or if it's just the nagging voice of my inner kid with hopes and dreams. It still would be amazing to impact people directly through patient care, but I do question the justification of going through 4 years of schooling + years of additional training designed solely for patient care and nothing else (including research), where most of my priorities and focuses lie more on making new discoveries and pushing the boundaries of science.
It feels like the classic "my brain says no, but my heart says yes" to doing both the MD/PhD, but I guess I also want to be pragmatic with the decision. I know some of the commonly cited benefits of "if you're in doubt, just do both" include free med school, job security, etc, but I'm
... keep reading on reddit ➡One university in my country will create soon an interdisciplinary post-graduate master degree with the name "Translational biomedical engineering". I wonder what does "translational" mean in the biomedical engineering field? How will this differ from a normal biomedical engineering post-graduate master degree? Which one should I prefer, which one is let's say, better?
I have searched about "translational" on the internet and I have found that translational research in engineering and medicine in general has to do with something more applicable and practical, but I don't understand this totally and how this applies to a masters degree, what is the difference there? I would appreciate it if you could provide concrete examples!
i got into the program and have my first day today and i’m really excited! i was just wondering whether it was highly prestigious or something because it is yale.
Hello smart and kind people!
I heard an attending talk about conducting a "translational research lab" for a drug that is in clinical trial phase? What does "translational research lab" mean?
Thanks!
This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 73%. (I'm a bot)
