Need to decide what to do after my MCAT in January. Applying in 2024. My current research and clinical experiences are listed below:
Research:
1000 hours in cancer drug development
500 hours in autoimmune disease drug development
(Both are organic synthesis and no pub)
Clinical:
1300 hours as a scribe
1000 hours in health coordination in ICU
600 hours in Crisis Text line
I really want to get into microbiome research, but with no biological research background, it’s been difficult to find research positions locally. I’m concern about moving out of state since I’ll lose my resident status for my top school (first gen immigrant, parents are not in the US). I see myself doing research in the future, and thought I’d be important to learn research techniques and get more experience to aim for a research-heavy school. Are labs in med school willing to train students who don’t have the particular skills required? And is my research experience enough for a research-heavy program? If I’m solid, I will work a scribe (pretty much my only clinical option) and continue to find research position locally as time goes.
