Hi everyone,
Before I can ask my questions, I have to give a little background info:
I met with the clinical research coordinator at my school last week and was told that because our ENT department is so small, there are no clinical projects going on at the moment. I was told that my name was going to be put down on a list of interested medical students, and as residents and faculty members contact the coordinator, the list will be gone down in order to hand out research spots. I don't intend to begin research at this exact moment- I just started school- but was hoping to start planning for a project I could begin in the winter or spring. The only good part to this is that I was the first MS1 to speak with her.
My school has a very active ortho department that I could certainly join and participate in clinical research, but I'm not as interested in ortho as I am ENT..
My questions are as follows:
1) Do I hold my breath and wait for a possible clinical ENT project?
2) Do I seek out basic ENT research?
3) Do I join the ortho department so that I can be sure to gain experience?
4) Do something entirely different in terms of research that I have yet to think of?
Any and all advice is appreciated. Thanks!
