Essentially staying vs going comes down to two things. Staying will probably give me the best shot at getting into top tier MSTP programs, while leaving may position me better for initial success once I enroll in one of these programs. Thanks in advance for all your help guys!.
Thanks for the reply, Spr1ngrolls! I agree it does seem like I have a lot to lose by switching here. I definitely don't hate the research, it's still cool. But it is sometime hard on me when I know I want to pursue something in a different direction down the road.
On the topic of your BioE lab experience, what made the work there more difficult? As a bioengineering major, would I likely be able to pick this stuff up once starting grad school? (to be honest, I will probably conduct bioengineering/translational research but not do a bioengineering PhD just because I don't want to take all the classes required for the masters in addition to med school classes).
This sounds like a perfect idea! Go for it. Best of both worlds.Thanks for the advice Efle! I think I will most likely be doing that. I have also recently been entertaining the idea of asking my postdoc to let me do a part time summer rotation in a bioengineering lab to gain some experience there while still maintaining a commitment to my current lab.
