Hello,
I am currently a third year medical student, recently (last ~6 months) I have been seriously questioning my reasoning for doing medicine and whether it is really the right path for me. Pre-Clinical studies I really enjoyed and found physiology and the basic science side of things fascinating. Clinical medicine though has not continued to provide that fascination/drive.
The more I think about it the more I find my interests and personality lean more toward the side of pursuing a career in academic basic science research.
However, what I am unsure of is should I simply crack on with the next 2 years and graduate then pursue a PhD or would I be better off pursuing an academic foundation/clinical fellowship etc pathway?
Any advice help would be great.
