Productivity will probably be the biggest bang for your buck regardless of what the type of research is, but for top IM programs, pedigree, AOA, and step score are probably the most important things.

No, do what you want. Also, it's hard to be productive with basic science work as a non-MSTP medical student anyways.

productivity and good board scores are most of what matters

In a top IM program and can confirm productivity matters most. Did surgery research and they thought it was right but I published.
