When you all speak of "research," does it matter how far down an author list you are when applying to residencies, or does it just matter that you are just listed as a coauthor? In addition, does it matter when the research was performed? Do programs prefer applicants who have participated in research projects during school or do pre-medschool publications count just as much?
Specifically, I'm referring to some large, multi-center studies I was involved in before med school. There were lots of authors listed including myself. Does this count as valid "research" in the eyes of residencies? I certainly did a ton of work for these papers, but I am totally buried on the author list on a couple of my publications.
Also, does it matter that none of my research experience was related to radiology? It was mostly neurology/neuropathology, i.e. parkinsons and alzheimer stuff.
