Does being published in a medical magazine (e.g. writing your own article on a health topic) count as significantly as being published in a medical journal?
...Now that I write it out, it seems kind of ridiculous to ask. I was asking around about a research internship at a hospital and previous participants were talking about "published." I asked what/where they were published and they pulled out a magazine; it didn't seem like a journal because the articles were mainly concerned on talking about health issues rather than on actual studies.
It seems like that would count as a pretty big achievement, but I'm guessing it's not really the same caliber as being part of an actual study. Is that right?
