Missy’s Answer

You can certainly explore various interdisciplinary fields. I've seen medical doctors who not only treat patients but also conduct biomedical research. For instance, some doctors who focus on treating diabetes patients also carry out research in that same area. Moreover, there are doctors who don't practice medicine, but run research labs and teach at medical schools.

Hi Naomi,
Yes, it is possible to explore multiple interdisciplinary fields. You can decide to explore and leverage different research groups during your lab rotation and combine skills garnered to solve problems in a wholistic approach. For example, mathematical and engineering processes are being employed to generate solutions to biological research questions. Another way is collaborative study, in which different professionals provide perspectives to decipher or understand an unknown concept. This way multiple fields interact leading to knowledge transfer and proficiency in previously unfamiliar terrain.
