Favorite Aspect of the M.D./Ph.D. Program: Primary care as a specialty is highly under-represented amongst MD/PhDs. MD/PhDs are problem solvers, and many of the problems to be solved in modern health care are in primary care. Imagine the impact we could have, the doors we could open up, and the lives we could change for the better.
