Thanks a lot Bigred.
It’s not so much that I don’t want to work with patients, but rather I really enjoy doing research. I very much want to work in medical field, but I want to work in it strictly doing research. I was unclear about which type of degree (phd or MD) I should pursue after UD, but you’ve help clear that up a bit.
I’m wondering though, would a biochemistry phd be an acceptable degree to work in medical research, or should I be looking at something even more specialized? I’m currently working on a Bachelors in science in chemistry, and I thought I would attempt to get into a biochemistry program for my phd.
