Hey everyone, current MS1 here interested in family medicine. I've been a bit confused on how to approach activities that would go on to my residency application. I already have a publication from undergrad but I'm not too keen on research and would prefer to keep that to a minimum. Is community volunteering something that programs would prefer more? Not sure how to approach this, especially since I keep hearing that anyone can match FM, but thought I'd get some advice on what to focus on ahead of time to shape the rest of med school. Thank you!
