Hey all,
So I have been wondering this for a while. I am entering medical school in the fall, and am very interested in surgery after doing some shadowing (Probably ortho the most, but others as well). At this stage though, I know that it may be some time before I decide what I really want to do.
My question then is how important it is to do research in the specialty you attempt to match? For example, let's say I do neuro research, but end up deciding that I like ortho better. Would this switch negatively affect my application? Any input you could provide would be great. Thanks.
