Why do we need DO-PhD physician-scientists?
- The physician-scientist population in the U.S. is smaller and older than it was 25 years ago
- There is a current critical shortage of physician-scientists
- The physician-scientist is a vital member of the medical research community
- The physician-scientist can collaborate with both Ph.D. scientists and health care providers
- Scientific questions the physician-scientist asks reflect their experiences with patient care.
Incentives to pursue a DO-PhD degree
- Reward of translating scientific research into patient therapy
- Finding an answer to a medical puzzle
- Being on the cutting edge of science in finding new therapies and/or disease cures
- Receiving stipends and significant tuition reductions
