Hello should I do med school and another graduate program simultaneously?
Any responses?
What other graduate program were you considering? If you’re truly committed to having an occupation in health and medicine then you should just solely focus on med school.
@RiceFarmer Is it because Med School takes up a lot of time?
Med school is extremely time-intensive, particularly during the clinical portion of your training where you may be working 80+ hours/week in the hospital or at clinical sites, plus studying for shelf exams, national boards, and perhaps doing specialty-specific research
You won’t have time to pursue an additional graduate degree unless you are in dedicated dual degree program. Even those required additional years-in-school to complete. (MD/PhD–which takes 8 years; MD/MBA–which takes 5-6 years; MD/MPH–which takes 4 or 5 years)
