The point is that I see great value in teaching undergraduates and beleive that teachers at the undergrad level can have a great impact on helping students find their area of study/ career interest just by teaching material they enjoy (In part, this desire to teach is derived from my own experience as an undergrad who has had great teaching). As far as clinical research and science research being in a “different world”, that does not always necessarily hold true. I have an interest in both clinical and more theoretical biological research and have been able to thus far combine them through my research experiences. Just because I will be practicing as an MD does not mean I need to be relegated to solely clinical teaching and research.
