Thanks for your answer David.i am in the UK and don't really know about American Universities.

Answer 1

I have a friend pursuing an MD/PhD at Albert Einstein, a medical univerity in the Bronx, NY. He, like PhD students in most fields at American universities, does receive a stipend from the university. This makes it possible to attend school without taking a job outside of the medical institution where you do the research. As for learning what the best schools are, you should really consult with a professional, perhaps the academic development department at the school where you received your degree.
