Hi,
I'm an MS3 that hopes to apply for PM&R. I unfortunately was exposed to PM&R pretty late, and only recently made the decision to pursue it for residency. I got a 231 on my Step 1, and will take Step 2 before applying. I'm scheduling all PM&R rotations to start off 4th year so I can possibly get letters from attendings. My school also has a history of strong PM&R matches, and I am in an area with an abundance of programs.
My only concern now is that I would like to add some research to my application, both to bolster my application, as well as makle myself a more attractive applicant to the top programs? How should I go about doing this, given the stringent schedule of 3rd year? Does anyone have any leads or contacts in the NYC area? Also, how important is research/publication in order to get into a top 10 PM&R residency?
I would appreciate any advice on this, as I'm kind of lost.
