- Happy holidays, all MD/PhD's and interested observers!
-
- A brief question for your holiday or vacation perusal.... I'd be interested
- to know what other dual degree folks have experienced in terms of variations
- in funding for their 2 doctoral degrees, and variations in length of program
- and institutional tolerance or flexibility with respect to said variations.
- To get us started.....
-
- * most biomedical sci. MD/PhD's get generous, though contractually
- obligated support for their medical *and* graduate studies....what
- kind of issues arise with regard to this type of "Ulysses contract"?
-
- * by contrast, almost all non-traditional MD/PhD's (outside biol. sci.)
- get grad school support but rarely have med school tuition paid for?
- Does this resonate with your experience? Is it fair? Should there
- be more "MSTP"-type support for a limited # of students in such areas?
-
- I welcome any input or response, on MDPHD-L or at: j-moen@uchicago.edu
-
- may peace, hope, love, and joy be yours !!
