<p>Hi, </p>
<p>I'm interested in pursuing an MD with a speciality in something like pediatric orthopedics--also, I would like to work on a PHD in ethics (medical/bio). Is getting this kind of PHD usually done after you get your MD, or is it done after the residencies/fellowships? If it can be done after either, is their a preference to doing one instead of another? </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
