Anything that teaches you about the scientific method is fine, even if you're studying clams in TahitiHello! I have a few questions about my research experience I am about to begin. First, I have no research experience yet and will likely have about 1 year before applying (among my other extra curriculars). I am curious about whether or not certain research is better than others. I will not be in a wet lab and currently have the choice between clinical research on pediatric oncology, postpartum depression, and acupuncture. Each of these projects have similar requirements involving working with spread sheets and doing a lot of tedious work. I am more than willing to participate in this and look forward to it but I am curious about whether or not this is standard for research. I will likely be working from home as well. Does any of this sound out of the ordinary or like I am robbing myself of beneficial research experience? I am still early enough in the process that I can change my mind and find something else. I apologize because I genuinely have very little understanding of research and how it works/what is expected for medical school and I appreciate your help.
