I am not highly interested in research so summer long programs aren't appealing to me right now. I currently have a summer to end all summers planned out right now which includes three separate vacations. However, I am interested in a global health trip. I am asking how bad a summer of basically nothing (minus volunteering I've been doing for years that I'll increase greatly over the summer, so i do plan on doing something) really looks on residency applications, even if I do have volunteering planned, but I am not sure if it's enough.
Global health trips once you're a med student aren't frowned upon like they are for premeds, right? So if I have an interest, I should dive into those opportunities further? I just don't want to shoot myself in the foot because I want to relax as much as possible this summer.
