I know research makes you competitive for top specialities and that, while medical school is more about studying, some extracurriculars and volunteering are also evaluated. However, does this research have to be done in med school only?
What if a candidate took gap years after UG to work at the NIH doing great research and then goes to medical school? Will the work done before med school be discounted by residencies (similar to how high school activities don't matter for med schools)?
