We discuss his path to an MD/PhD, balancing lab and clinical work, Parkinson’s disease research, mentorship, and advice for undergraduates considering careers as physician-scientists.

We also talk about how patient experiences can shape research questions, what a PhD adds to medical training, and how students can decide whether the MD/PhD path is right for them.
