Hi everyone,
I'm looking for an overview of how research works in medical school and where I should be spending my time. I did research in college and the general format was "run study->review results->publish paper". I understand that this can still be done in medical school but there are also other types of research like case reports, posters, and other things that fall under the umbrella of research.
I'm hoping that someone can post with a breakdown of the basic options for research and what types they recommend for medical students. If someone posts a really good answer, I'd love it if
@asmallchild could sticky it to the forum for future viewers. It's been hard for me to find much on this topic.
The second question is less important: What counts a derm research? Is it anything to do with the skin (including immune, burns, genetics) or does it have to be a specific clinical aspect of dermatology (effectiveness of X in treating Y, Signs associated with disease Z, etc.)
TL;DR:
1. What is the best type of research to be doing
2. How broad/narrow is "Derm Research"
Thanks in advance
