I'm trying to decide on a school and right now my biggest thing is keeping my options open. I think I know what I want to do, but compared to how much I will know about medicine by the time I apply for residency, right now I'm basically clueless.
I hear that at some DO schools there are very few research options for students. I'm not interested in becoming much of a research physician in my professional career, but if doing research will help out a future residency application or if a lack of research will negatively impact my residency app, then I'll gladly do a bunch of research during med school.
Is this something I'll have to worry about? What if I wish to do an MD residency, will a lack of research hurt me then?
