I'm considering not completing the PhD portion of my training because I can't find any mentors doing research I'm interested in or open to letting me start a project in their lab that would fit my research interests.
I’d still like to end up in a career primarily focused on research, and am thinking it would make more sense to do a PSTP or other research-intensive residency program followed by a longer fellowship/post-doc as an alternative to a PhD now.
Will dropping out and not completing a PhD have any significant impact on getting into residencies or fellowships later down the line?
