clinical research vs. human subject research?

[imaklutz1430]

Hi everyone!

I'm currently a post-bacc student and I'm currently doing human subject research in the prev med department. I just wanted to know if doing only human subject research will be a set back for my med school app... do they prefer to see clinical research over human research?

thanks for all your input

I don't understand the distinction. Clinical research by definition involves patients, who (unless you're a vet) are human. So how would that differ from "human subjects" research?
