Now I am struggling to apply for a master's degree in thoracic surgery or a master's degree. Give me some advice.
I suggest that academic development is better in the future, because you can learn a lot of skills in paper writing, scientific research and design during your postgraduate period, which is very useful for your future professional title! Moreover, if you want to learn clinical things, you will soon master them. Of course, you should also consider the guiding role of the state in this regard, because the state is distinguishing between two types of roles. The purpose is to pay more attention to clinical skills for professional students, while for scientific research students, they are more inclined to concentrate on research in the future, which can be seen from the qualification examination for practicing doctors. However, it may not be strictly enforced in recent years. You have to weigh it yourself, and see how your tutor prefers you.
