I understand Research experience becomes important when chosing competetive residencies like Neurosurgery and Ortho. I wanted to know the appropriate time to do these research programs (are summer programs Okay) also, does undergrad research counts, and will an NIH(National Instutite of Health) summer Research program for Medical students enhance your application for Residency in these programs (Neuro and Ortho).

Thanks

Dr. Maxy,

It is not necessary to post the same question on multiple forums. I have answered this query in the Residencies Forum.
