    The Physician-Scientist Perspective with William Zeiger, MD, PhD

    In the first episode of the IMMERSE at UCLA Podcast, we sit down with William Zeiger, MD, PhD, a UCLA physician-scientist in movement disorders, to explore what it really looks like to build a career across medicine and research. We discuss his path to an MD/PhD, balancing lab and clinical work, Parkinson’s disease research, mentorship, and advice for undergraduates considering careers as physician-scientists. We also talk about how patient experiences can shape research questions, what a PhD adds to medical training, and how students can decide whether the MD/PhD path is right for them.
