Workshop 8: The Doctor is In: Clinician Scientist Tracks in Biomaterials

Dual-degree training (e.g. MD-PhD, DDS-PhD) offers unique skillsets, opportunities, and potential funding throughout the degree. In this session, we will discuss the pathway from initiation to completion, and discuss job prospects for graduates. The perspective from a senior institutional representative will identify the mechanisms to support researchers after completing both degrees. We will invite audience questions in this conversational format.
