Hey guys i'm a foreign trained dentist who graduated in 2017. I came to the US right after and applied to the 2018 cycle in which I got 2 interviews but no acceptance. I started off volunteering at a dental office for a month and then started working as a DA and have been working as one ever...

As I'm deciding what to do over the summer, I was wondering how important consistency and commitment towards your ECs are relative to doing a range of novel and diverse things. For example, let's say you have two choices for your summer: 1. Clinical AND non-clinical volunteering at the same 2...

I'm in the process of finding a research mentor and I'd appreciate some wisdom from those who went through the process. What's the best advice you can give? Also, I am currently interested in a field, but if I don't find a suitable mentor from that field, how would joining research in another...

Hey ya'll, I am currently an M1 at a lower tier MD school with aspirations of matching at a top 10 (or similar quality) neurology residency. I have been consistently scoring in the top ~10% of the class on my exams thus far. Getting to the gist of it, I have been doing research with a prominent...

which is better for someone pursuing a pediatrics residency and a fellowship in medical genetics? 1. Two months of research at Johns Hopkins in computational genomics with a very good chance of publishing one paper. 2. One month clinical rotation in pediatrics surgical oncology at St. Jude...

To keep this brief

For the past year I have been serving on the exec board of a non-profit that works directly with a group of underserved members of our community, and it has easily been the most fulfilling experience I've ever had. We are very hands-on and it's just so rewarding to see tangible progress/actual...

Hello, I am a current PY2 enrolled in a top 5 pharmacy program. I currently have a 3.0 GPA. I have a bachelor's degree (something my program doesn't require), research and leadership experience, and an internship at a local retail store. What are my chances of matching with a program such as the...

So, I know this question gets asked a lot, but I’m attending a *really small state school. There were a total of 17 students last year who graduated with a Bachelor’s in Biology last year. Overall, though... Great staff, small classes (good for getting to know the professors), guaranteed...

Can ORMs apply to leadership alliance internships? Is it competitive for ORMs?

I'm a current M1, trying to decide if I should do research or not. What specialties like to see research? Right now I want to go into IM, and probably be a hospitalist. Is this something I should probably look into doing research for? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Does anyone know how competitive the Cornell ACCESS Research Internship at Weill is? Also, does anyone have any general information on the internship such as are we allowed to do our own research based off of our previous work in labs? Thanks in advance!

After trying to find my answer in the Official 18-19 thread, I still have a question in regards to entering research. 2 questions: 1) Should the create a different "research" tab for each of these projects? I have 3 separate research projects, 1 clinical, 1 that I have/will have presented at...

Been doing research for a bit in the Orgo lab. Going well, got my own project. Really wanna do research in a genetics lab. Upset that I may not be able to be in that lab. Would it help my app to have more research? Prob not right? I mean I’m moderately productive with research in my current...

Hi, I am a freshman premed majoring in Medical Studies at Arizona State University. I need a sense of direction as I begin the path to prepare for admission to medical school. My goal is to become a surgeon-scientist, so I primarily want to apply to MD-PhD programs. I am an Indian American, so I...

So, I wanted to get some opinions on whether or not I should quit research. I've been working in a lab since my freshman year (now a junior). When I got to college, I wasn't sure whether I wanted to purse grad school or med school. After talking to advisors and professors, they all seemed to...

Since I am a pre-med major in pharmaceutical sciences, I am wondering whether doing research in the clinical pharmacy (for example, dosing and pharmacokinetics) will be harmful to my application to medical school. My PI is a PharmD. I am afraid that med school committees don't want to see...

I'm fairly certain it's a "no," but I thought I'd at least double-check. I had a summer internship at the state department of health laboratory, where myself and two other interns were responsible for overseeing mosquito and tick surveillance programs. Duties included processing, counting, and...

I just started my first of several gap years, and am still looking for work. I've been advised by several doctors that the one thing that would really improve my app at this point is clinical research, since I have no research experience. However, I live in ND where there are zero opportunities...

Hi all, I am torn between two opportunities for summer 2019 (summer after MS1) and don’t know which one to pick. I am currently studying at a Canadian medical school. Option #1: Research at my medical school under a prof who specialises in rheumatology. My medical school offers a grant of...

Currently debating between MD and MD/PhD. I understand the differences between the programs, and I'm really leaning towards MD/PhD because I've loved my research experiences as an undergrad. My biggest kicker (I think) is that I first authored a paper accepted by a pretty high impact factor...

I switched from Nursing to Finance major and will graduate in May 2019 at 22yrs old. Recently Ive missed the challenge science brought me. I figured out recently I like researching things in-depth and I am always asking the why? question. So I've been drawn to wanting to conduct research at a...

Hello all, I'd really appreciate if you could fill out this quick 5 minute survey!! Please share with other OT/OTA students as well :) Dear OT/OTA students, Did you know more than 50% of people do not take medications as prescribed? This has compromised the optimal health outcome. Be a part...

I'm not sure if this is the best sub-forum to ask this, but I'm currently waiting to hear back from med schools. In the meantime, I would like to get involved in paid research. I have already graduated from university. Does anyone know of any programs that are open to people that want to do...

Just wanted to get the opinion of those who know better than I with regards to making sure I allow myself a shot at getting into a solid Obgyn residency. Thanks in advance to anyone that cares to throw their hat into the ring of advising! I'm a male student with a 255+ on Step 1 looking at...

As the title says, I'm considering working in 2 public health labs with pretty similar topical areas. I know in general this is ill-advised, but what's killing me is that Lab A has a project that I'm really interested in, whereas Lab B has a project that I am not as crazy about but potentially...

Hey all, P1 student looking for some advice! Before I begin, when I say "be the best" in my title, it's just an over exaggeration. I'm, in no way, arrogant or looking to be superior to my class mates. I just want to be the best version of me that I can be, like everyone else here! So, currently...

Hello all! Thanks in advance for reading.. Just looking for some advice on what to do during my second gap year. I am a First time applicant, currently waiting for some love from the ‘18-‘19 cycle. I graduated last year and spent that time retaking the MCAT and getting clinical experience as a...

As a student applying for dermatology, I know the field is extremely competitive and would love to talk to students who didn't match dermatology but matched either during preliminary year or after a research fellowship. I am interested in knowing what the match rate is for preliminary years. I...

I'm currently a junior at a state university and just started doing research with a graduate student in a faculty's lab. The research itself is based on marine organic chemistry and I had an easy time getting in due to my fish keeping hobby, but it looks like I will just be working on small...
