Hello everyone,
I graduate in May of 2015, and I'm having a hard time determining what to do during my gap year. Initially, I took a gap year because I wanted to volunteer something similar to the Peace Corps. However, I have no research experience, and I know that is crucial to some med schools. Am I completely out of my mind thinking I can land an entry level CRA position in a Boston hospital? I want research, but I'd like for it to be clinical. Furthermore, I can't devote more than two years to the research. Can anyone provide advice or another route to get clinical research experience? Thank you for all opinions.
