First year over here, I was wondering what should I be doing over the summer. It's already feb. and wanted some type of plan. Of course, I'll be lightly reviewing for the boards and refreshing the material I learned throughout the year. But as far as research, shadowing etc. is there anything I need to do. I mean I'm pretty burnt out from school and need the two months off but don't want to set myself behind everyone else. What's normal protocol for a first year med students summer?
