Research after fellowship
Resident currently in the fellowship match process here. I want to make an earnest go at academics and try to spend my 18 months of research time in fellowship in a bench or translational lab. If I am not able to get funded, how feasible is it for me to find an academic job where I can have enough time to do a pseudo-postdoc on the side? My concern isn't so much the money, but really maintaining my clinical skills while I do research. (Source: Student Doctor Network)
