I am starting med school this coming August ( yayy), and as it turns out, my plans for the summer got drastically changed last week, so I have basiclaly nothing to do from mid May to August.
At the moment, I am interested in IM Residency (leaning towards Cardiology subspecialty, even though that could change). Do you think I can put a case study together in this much time? How do you even go about looking for a case study to be written out? I dont know if I should contact physicains affiliated with my school or other close by institutions. Also, do you need to be physically present at the hospital or clinic site to work on case reports?
Or is it too late to even consider this possibility? I mean it doesnt have to be all done by Aug I guess, even if I can get a head start I would be happy.
PS - I realize that case study is not the most high yield research, but I want to just once go through the process of publishing for its own sake....
Any comments/help would be much appreciated
