I have been told many times that finding the right research lab is important for very competitive programs, mainly because the well known researchers also know a lot of influential people in residency programs. Therefore, a well-known research mentor will not only write you a letter of recommendation that will help in your residency applications, but he/she will make phone calls on your behalf to his/her friends.
So, my question is: How would I know which researchers are well-known and which ones are not? I will be attending medical school far from my undergrand school so I have no idea about the reputation of the researchers there.
Any advice is appreciated as I try to find the right lab, obviously my interest in the lab plays a big factor too.
Thank you
