First off, whatever you decide stick with it and don't waste your vacation feeling bad. Classes will start and you'll be back in high gear kicking yourself for not enjoying your break.

That being said, if you want to do SOMETHING, but without a lot of time investment, look into shadowing some physicians in an area(s) that interests you. It'll give you an invaluable inside look at the day-to-day routine of that specialty that you may not get even during 3rd and 4th year rotations.

Hi there,
If you can find something that you like, to fill your summer then do so. Otherwise, enjoy your vacation, get away, get rested and be ready to hit the fall semester rested and ready.

Most of my medical school colleagues spent the summer between their MS-1 and MS-2 year enjoying themselves on a beach somewhere. This is a perfectly good way to prepare for year II and can make all of the difference between being burnt out as your MS-II year starts and being rested and doing well.

You can take a research elective early in your fourth year or you can pick up some clinical research project (that does not interfere with your studies) during your second year. You really can take a vacation during this time and not worry about "paying for it" down the line.
