Hey guys,
This is probably a loooong shot but I thought I'd try and ask to see if anyone knows...
From other threads in the forum it seems like clinical research is easier to get published and it takes a bigger time investment to get published in basic science research but at the same time it means more to residencies?
My question is if anyone has ever heard that certain specialties might generally prefer basic science over clinical or vice versa? Just as a hypothetical (stereotypical...) example, maybe pathology people like to see basic science on med student CVs...?
Or are residencies in certain areas (say...CA 😛) more basic science/clinical research oriented and thus people with that type of research do better gtting into residencies there?
Disclaimer: There are definitely other factors that affect how you look to programs but lets say all others being equal...
