[quote=Anonymous]You need to have a real passion for research and accept the trade off of lower pay if you work at the NIH. Not to mention that you have to be actually good enough to get hired there in the first place. It is not for dilettantes. If you want a well-compensated career as an MD and also to pursue research then look at teaching hospitals. I worked for many years in a research lab at a place like this. My PI was an attending with a regular MD salary and she also had the lab with independent funding support and dedicated research time. 3 out of her 4 children have also become MDs, and the fourth went into the medical device field.[/quote]
