这些天遇到几个很NICE的姐姐,都是临床医学专业的,一方面她们很热爱临床专业,在国内也有很好的工作和待遇,另一方面她们有去美国留学的机会,于是乎一个二难的选择摆在她们面前,这里是我叔叔的一点建议,他本科是学临床的,然后拿生物医学的全奖去美国,然后POST DOC,在这期间,拿到绿卡然后考医生执照, 现在是美国的一名社区家庭医生,工作很轻松,而且待遇也不错,一年大概20万刀。下面是他的信:
On this crossroad, it will be very difficult choice to make. As one hand, you are a physician at XXX and have good-pay job and respect. On other hand, you have this opportunity to advance your carrer, named in academic research rather than clinic arena。
Frankly, this is choice upto you. You know that you have to complete the PhD, oftenly 4-5 years. If you want to become practice physician, the test part is not so hard. However, you need to have status, i.e. GREEN CARD, prior to any meaningful career choice. In order to obtain that , you have to work very hard, to complete the PhD, and to become post-doctor. During post-doctor, your work/effort be appreciated by your "boss", then, he/she may sporsor you for H-VISA. That will eventually lead to GREEN CARD with immigration lawer help.
Since you are still young, you should seize this oppunity and condider other option in your career later. The worse case, after you complete the PhD, you return to china, and become a professor.
真心希望能帮到还在2难的同志们~
