So You Want to Study EDS? What I would say to an aspiring patient-scientist or patient-physician in this space

I’m often asked how to do a PhD or go to med school specifically to study or treat EDS. 💬

Here’s my take: you don’t have to start in an EDS-focused program to end up with an EDS-focused career. A PhD or MD is about building afoundation. Once you have that, you can pivot into EDS.
