All medical schools that I know of require that you be a "final year" medical student to do an elective. Some countries include an "intern year" as part of medical school and that wouldn't count -- it's the last year that you are still a student.

Hi aPD, had a question for you...

How far do you think summer research electives (say 8 weeks) help in terms of "beefing" up residency applications ? Do they trump over observerships / shadowing ?

Appreciate any response...!

I think it depends on the program. Some programs will be impressed by research, but it's unclear how much you can get done in 8 weeks.

So what do you suggest MS1 students do for the 2 months they get off after term 1 ? Can you please give me some worthwhile options ? Thanks in advance !
