Re: MD/PhD
I sent madnak a PM, but basic answers are that coursework is pretty much standard during med school and PhD years, with some extra lab work thrown in.
"Wouldn't it be cheaper to hire a dominatrix?"
"How competitive are these programs and the associated grants?"
Considering its full ride for your 8 or 9 years or whatever, its not cheaper to hire a dominatrix, and its pretty competitive.
These programs are great for someone truly torn between research and patient care, not so great for those who can't decide because they don't really like either one.
The types of opportunities and fields open to you will obviously be highly dependent on your specialization, which will be influenced by your PhD work and vice versa, but in general you'll have a few more opportunities than MDs because you're qualified to do the research side.
