Isn’t there a large number of medical doctors who have never practiced on their own, but they work in businesses, such as consultants for certain high tech companies, such as biotech organizations for example.

Why isn’t this route as common? Is it more, for those who are specialized in the sciences? Would you have to be a lot more qualified in the sciences to get jobs like these?

It seems like a more interesting route after going to med school. And you don’t have to worry about the mal practice insurance, etc. I’m sure they would be paid a good/high salary as well.

Can anyone elaborate on this?
