How much research is enough?

[neuroiscool42]

Current M2 soon to be M3 next month interested in Neurology and am wondering if I'm doing enough to match. Not looking at big ivory towers, just a place with solid training with the possibility of going into fellowship. Currently have a neuroscience pub from undergrad and a poster from a psych project+ manuscript that is under review rn. I'm trying to get 2-3 neurology research projects going but it's really moving at a slow pace so I'm not sure if I'll be able to produce something during M3 year before I have to fill out ERAS. Any advice to make me a more competitive applicant, asides from doing well during clinicals and Step 2. US MD student btw. Thanks in advance

You don't need research to match neurology outside of a handful of elite programs.
