Any fellow attorneys?

[lawdawg]

I realize we're a real popular bunch among the medicine crowd , but I was wondering whether any students at AUC are currently (or were in their past life) lawyers? I'm particularly interested in how/if you plan to incorporate your legal background in medicine.

I've noticed quite a few residency programs are grabbing those with both degrees (some claiming selectively), and some newer fellowships starting (the emergency medicine/law fellowship program at Hopkins which follows an EM residency). I'm currently a patent atty, but I think I'd like to explore some of the other areas a medical degree might help leverage (like healthcare law, certain administrative positions, etc.). However, ultimately, I want at least half my time to be spent practicing clinical medicine (i.e., seeing patients).

If you don't feel like revealing your darker side on the forum, feel free to email me at techlawdawg@gmail.com.

UMDNJ-SOM has a 7year DO/JD degree program

I guess a lawer could write his own perminance of injury document so famous for over coming the threshold option selected by many insurance carriers. And a JD/MD depending on a case could cross examine himself as an expert MD verifing perminance of injury. I have seen a lot of shading dealings between doc/lawyers with this. (Not saying anything about u)

ANyhow Good luck

Yeah, there are >15 combined programs in the US.

BTW, which genius moderator converged this thread and moved it to this forum? It looks like a dead one, and I'm only interested in AUC, Saba, Ross and St. Georges. That's why I went to the trouble of posting 4 separate times.

There is one in SVG at SGU... Actually his path seems a lot like yours.

The threads were probably merged under the "no repetitive, multiple postings" provisions of the TOS.

When I was in school (SGU) I had several attornyes in my class. I know there was an ADA, a biotech patent attorney, and a corporate inhouse counsel, and a few others I didn't know well. Last I heard, most of them are practicing medicine exclusively.

In my current work, I've come across two interns and several medical students who were attorneys. All of them intent to practice medicine exclusively when they are done.

As for me in my previous life... I did not practice law. I enforced them The ADA in my class and I had many interesting discussions on the 4th Amendment, and what constitutes probable cause for Terry search. Had a retired NYPD detective in my class as well...

this might be the reason the mods moved it since this is an sgu forum...
