So I have been hired as a Summer Research student at a hospital with a renowned cardiologist. I am helping this doctor with this clinical research (dry lab - data entry every day) alongside a team of summer students. The problem is I am not very interested in this specialization and the work is...

Hi i am gonna be employing soon and am trying to decide if i should try to go to schools who offer more clinical or more industry fellowship/residency opportunities. From what I notice schools are either geared towards one or the other for the most part. I am interested in both and its hard to...

I am currently working at both a vet clinic and in the laboratory of a human hospital (as a lab assistant and the hospital phlebotomist.) I keep the hospital job because it pays my bills, but how much could it actually help me, if at all, when it comes time to apply for vet schools? I understand...

Which surgical specialty/sub-specialization will be best poised to exert leadership in this emerging area of the field, and why is it a cut above the others for the next ~30yrs? Curious what people think off the cuff. Any evidence you can cite/share? Caveat: if answering CT, myocardium...

Hi guys I'm currently studying for the May 19th MCAT and decided just last month that I wasn't going to apply this year as I don't feel I am ready the app cycle. Especially since I won't be sure what my MCAT score will be. Anyways, I'm looking for some advice. I hope to apply 2018, which will...

I will be taking the MCAT in Jan-March, first practice test I didn't do too well but I am not discouraged. I will probably be able to obtain three LOR's by the time I apply but I don't have one yet. I'll probably have a real good one from a physician across the street from me who I have shadowed...
