For those already in an MD/PhD program:
1) If any, what kind of clinical exposure do you have in your PhD years? Is it mandatory or voluntary?
2) How well does it work and how useful do you think it has been?
Here at the Tri-I we dont have anything like that. In fact, our PD is quite adamant that when in grad school we immerse ourselves in it 100% and as such, he sees clinical work as a distraction. There are obvious shortcomings to this point of view, but I'm curious as to how other programns handle this.
