So I am beginning M1 this fall but I will also be taking a summer course in the grad school (Masters of Clinical Research). The course is an introduction to clinical research and I believe it will benefit me in the future. Plus, it's free. The course is at the same institution that my medical school is at. I asked, and they said that taking this course will be on my academic transcript. The course will be taken for a grade (no P/F option).
My question: will this course have any bearing when I apply to residency? Will they see it? I realize that this course is not something that they'd be "wow-ed" at, but it is graded and I wanted to take this for my interest above all else.
Thanks so much.
