I see everyone on here saying they have X # of publications, and I also saw that that the average # of publication is quite high according to the official data. Is there any "trick" to getting publications that I'm not aware of? [I did 3 years of malaria research in college, and spent summer of MS1, and MS2 school year doing research [GI], which neither resulted in anything]. My dad is a researcher [phd] and he said my expectations are way too high. He said on average, people publish a paper once every 1-2 years in the lab he works in, and some MD/PhD students finish their PhD portions without even publishing a single paper. Yet we see all these applicants applying to Rad Onc with like 5 papers or more... How do I do this?! I feel like the only thing standing in my way between matching in a decent specialty [possibly Rad Onc] is the lack of research publications/abstracts... [I have 0] thanks!! any advice is greatly appreciated
[And unrelated question - Can Rad Oncs open private practices?? Is this common/easy to do?]
