I am a hospitalist physician looking to do a PhD. Interested in social medicine / narrative medicine / medical humanities / bioethics / functional medicine / anything at the intersection of public health, sociology, ethics, and the liberal arts.

Deeply introverted and been hustling hard so not much of a social network beyond non-medic friends, colleagues (uninterested in PhD), and patients. Would appreciate sound advice / help / insights.

I am disillusioned with corporate medicine and want to pivot into something more meaningful that intersects with my prior training and interests and will be rewarding in its social impact.

P.S. : Would also appreciate insight on the pros and cons of applying for and doing a PhD at this age.
