Your clinical background is a great asset to research teams - be confident in your knowledge and skills. Focus on your strengths: collaboration, clinical correlation and clinical translation (the holy grail...)

When thinking about a PhD - ASK QUESTIONS! Is this right for me? Right for my family? What commitments do I have time for? And, what am I interested in?
