<p>For those of you who are not sure about MDs as teaching faculty, I would suggest-</p>
<p>Pick a department/area (therapeutic or research) of your liking, select a Graduate school of biomedical science dept and check out how many MDs vs MD/PhDs, vs PhDs are listed in their departments as faculty.</p>
<p>You will find that you don’t have to have an MD to teach but having an MD doesn’t hurt in a research institute affiliated with a medical college. Having an MD/PhD helps you even better in terms of procuring NIH grants.</p>
<p>In regards to teaching undergrads- MDs are not necessary. Generally PhDs teach in undergrad schools.</p>
