To be competitive for ortho, do you think that there is an advantage to one or the other? Curious minds would like to know!
A question of hope or ignorance...
I've published a couple of papers since I started medschool however they were when i was interested in neurosurgery, one is basic science and the other is clinical research. Are these papers out the window when applying to orthopedics? And if so would it be better to sink into a heavy project now, early in M3 that may or may not be published by application time or sink into a few easy clinical studies that will most likely get published (though low impact factor and possibly just be case studies)? Any comment appreciated!
Do you have anything else on your CV? If not, then just bring it up to your orthopod. They know you got to look good for your residency app. If they're interested in you doing well, then they shouldn't have a problem contributing to your professional development (and use those words).I've got another research question somewhat related to this topic. I've been doing some clinical research with an orthopod and a PhD, but it looks like it won't be published before I start applying to residency. So anyways, I was thinking of asking the MD if I could do a case study with him. Is there a better way of asking him then "I just want something quick and easy so I can use it for my CV"? I probably will either way, I just don't want to sound like an idiot.
