 This study found that MDPHD trainees were more likely than MD or MDI trainees to be interested in pursuing an academic career. Additionally, MDPHD trainees were more likely to cite translational research as their primary career intention, while MDI trainees were more likely to cite clinical duties as their primary career intention. The study also found that interest in basic research, translational research, clinical research, education, and the ability to identify a mentor were all associated with academic career intentions.
