Med school FOR HF?

I am in my second year at a FoF. I have a degree in economics but took many pre-med courses in undergrad as I was premed for awhile. I want to work in biotech L/S. I took the MCAT and scored ok, but not amazing. I think I could get into A med school, but not a name brand one. Should I go to med school with the goal of landing a seat at a life sciences fund? I am also considering PhD.
