Hello everyone,
Long time lurker here, I decided to register and post since I'm going to be starting my first year at university (Pre-Med) this coming fall semester. Apologies if these questions seem naive 😳
I searched around for the same subject topic but couldn't find anything.. Just MD/PhD and PhD stuff.. Anyway, I'm currently working in a BME lab doing some summer research with mice and rats, imaging retinas and things inside the eye mostly (not cleaning glassware or anything thankfully 😀). Recently though I've put some thought into my decision to apply for this position.. Will this research actually help me with my medical school application? (I don't want to sound like someone who wants research for the sake of a more attractive application, as I genuinely enjoy the research and hope to go back next year)
For clarification, the research is primarily based around finding a better way to image the retina and I deal primarily in the animal/biology aspect of it.
Also, just trying to hit two birds with one stone here. I know many people apply for research positions with professors as an undergraduate, is it much harder to apply for research positions in a hospital? I've looked at the research team for a lab I was interested in the hospital, and everyone in it was a PhD or an MD.
