Is it better to get an MD or a Ph.D in a medical field after undergrad?

<p>Some MSTP programs I am looking at are Ohio State, Baylor, Rochester, and Stony Brook (these still won’t be easy to get into by any means). I would love to go to somewhere like my own undergrad’s MSTP (UCLA-Caltech), but that is really a reach (even more so than the choices I’m looking at). </p>

<p>I’m trying to compare places like Ohio State MD/Ph.D to a Ph.D from UCLA/Stanford/Columbia/UPenn. I am trying to figure out which one would have the highest chance of getting a great position in research after completion.</p>
