      Thank you for the wonderful content. How can a foreign medical graduate/MBSS student after graduation apply to this MDPHD program? What are the processes? If you can make a video about it that would be beneficial to the IMG as well. Please reply thank you.

    I’m trying to do MD-PhD to neurosurgery as well, and I met several neurosurgeon scientists at Neurotrauma in June, so there’s lots of people Interested in that field, even though it’s hard.

    It actually made me feel good when he said some people let the MD guide their PhD research. I have had an interest in some MD/Ph.D programs because Im a neuroscience undergrad with intent to pursue a PhD, but have little desire to have patients but thinking the background in medicine could help make my research better. Very good video!
