Hello,
Current osteopathic MS1 student. I currently have two research opportunities and i cant figure out which would be more beneficial to pursue. The first one is not where I currently live, I would have to travel to work there (which i really have no problem with). The person I would be working with is the head of an osteopathic dermatology residency, although its technically research ive been informed there isnt much chance of any publication, I would however get hands on patient experience. The second opportunity is here in my home state, its also dermatology research (more likely to get published, plus some hands on patient experience) but its an MD school and I have essentially no chance of actually scoring high enough to get into their program (its highly ranked).
So whats more beneficial, the first opportunity with not much chance of publication but some chance of getting to know the head of the residency program or doing the MD research where I may get published? Again I dont care much about traveling out of state so its not a big part of the equation.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
