I have a brother in law who read physics at Oxford, followed by a PhD in
nuclear physics and then graduated from London University in medicine.
He once told me that there is no way on this earth could one do a worthwhile
PhD concurrently with medicine .........I believe him.
Isn't a PhD supposed to be a full time three or four year all-research based
undertaking? Where would one fit in the rigors of a full time medical
school education ?
I suspect that there are a number of degree mills around.
