Research After TAMS

TAMS is a great time to explore your research interests and find fields/subfields/topics that you’re passionate about.

• ​Don't be afraid to leave your lab if you discover that you don't enjoy your research. 

After TAMS, you can continue your research at your undergraduate institution, and continue to expand the body of knowledge in your field.

If you choose to pursue research as part of your profession, there are many routes for you to do so.

• Get a PhD and enter academia or industrial research.

• Get an MD-PhD and become a physician-researcher.

  • You can also do research with just an MD.

    • MD’s are actually known to get more funding than PhD’s for research.

• Become a scientist with an established lab after receiving a Bachelor's/Master’s Degree.
