Nope, I wanted to do family when I was a pre-med. No amount of money could make me do family medicine now. This is why it's important to have as many options available. Every field of medicine is vastly different. You will like some and hate others.

Very few DO schools have clinical research opportunities. You'll be able to find some basic science stuff, though. There are also summer research fellowships during osm1 and osm2 summer you could do. You can also do case reports or review articles on your rotations as a 3rd year. Also look at local university programs. They may have research opportunities also.

Although research is important if you want to match a top program or a competitive speciality, it isn't necessary for most specialities/residencies. I didn't do much research as a med student.
Just out of curiosity, what specifically do you dislike about FM? And I guess along those lines, what made you decide on Gas as opposed to some of the other specialties you were competitive enough for?
