Abstract
The M.D.-Ph.D. training process uniquely prepares individuals with skillsets capable of redefining the boundaries of medicine. While the clinical and research worlds are seemingly different, the two worlds in fact nicely complement each other. Symbiotically, the dual-degree training allows physician-scientists to be more inquisitive physicians and more clinically applicable scientists. Upon reflecting on my recent journey through an M.D.-Ph.D. training program, my advice for young trainees is to continually self-improve by surrounding yourself with individuals smarter than yourself, becoming comfortable with the uncomfortable, and finding supportive mentors in both the research and clinical realms. Through the particular training underwent, physician-scientists are uniquely positioned to truly redefine the boundaries of medicine to provide better care to our patients.
