What’s the point? If you want to teach medicine, then you need to be teaching medical students. If you want to teach undergrads then clinical skills are irrelevant. There is a reason why medical school and undergraduate education are unique entities.

Medical research useful to the practice of medicine is aimed at application and results for patients. Research at the undergraduate level in the sciences is aimed at the theoretical portions of the field you’re interested it.

Basically you’re asking for portions of two different worlds.
