When it comes time to apply to residency programs, is research done prior to medical school (undergrad, research positions post undergrad
etc) seen as equivalent to research done during medical school (summer between M1 & M2, projects done during medical school)?
I ask this question because I am currently a research technician soon to enter medical school, and by the time I will apply to residency, I will be a co-author on 7-8 publications from my position now. Would I be more advised to do something different during my summer between M1 & M2 (volunteer somewhere, or sit on the beach and relax lol) or pursue a research project as so many medical students do?
Many thanks in advance on any input.
