Hey all,
I'm currently an MS2 super interested in psych - been doing a lot of shadowing in several fields and psych appeals to me both as a subject and for lifestyle reasons - and find psych research fascinating. I know this is planning far in advance and things may definitely change, but do people DO research years in psych between MS3 and MS4? I know a lot of my classmates who are aiming for more competitive specialties like derm/ortho are considering doing one (Step 1 score pending, of course) and there are lots of T32 opportunities available to them, but this seems way less common in psych. Would a research year between MS3/MS4 be a waste of time?
Thanks.
