I am currently entering residency and am interested in pursuing a JD. I always knew I would eventually get either an MBA or a JD in addition to my MD, but was not sure which in the past. Over the past year I have realized that practicing as a lawyer very much appeals to me (I have a strong history and debate background prior to med school).
What would your advice be going forward? Is completing residency a total waste of time if I eventually want to be a lawyer, or does it make sense to complete residency, pay off loans, and then look into the JD 5-10 years down the road?
I realize this is a very complicated decision and there is so much information necessary to give a fully informed answer, but any opinion would be appreciate. Thank you very much for your time.
Also, I apologize if this is posted in the wrong place, but I could not find a dedicated MD/JD forum here.
