Do any of the Doc’s out there know how the field of bioethics is evolving? If a medical student is interested in specializing in bioethics rather than clinical medicine, can anyone suggest the best paths to take? Is a Ph.D. in philosphy desirable after the MD? Is there a drawback to not finishing the clinical portion of the medical training (internship/residency) and just stopping at the MD? Thanks for any suggestions you can offer!
