MD/JD Programs
I want to work in medical law (specifically with medical device patents pertaining to mental health), so I am looking at applying to JD/MD programs. I was thinking about Psychiatry for residency (4 years). If I pass the bar during the school year (I believe it’s also held in February for NY bar) before residency starts, would it be possible to start working as a lawyer during my time in residency? Has anybody done this? Thanks in advance!

Hey! I have a friend that practices Health Law and Medical Defence here in Canada! I'm sure it differs greatly because your located in the US - but they did not receive an MD, they just completed a JD and began working in that field. What is your rational for wanting to do both?
