Hello everyone,
I know this might be a shallow and potentially idiotic question, but--
I have offers to conduct surgical/clinical research this summer at either Mayo or MD Anderson right now. I have an interest in Neurosurgery, Pediatric General Surgery and CT surg (in that order). I would be doing research in Neurosurgery and CT surgery at Mayo, and Neurosurgery and Pediatric Surgical Oncology at MD Anderson. Having said that, is there any advantage that either place would have going into residency apps time? I suspect I would get a publication at either institution and as far as I know, both institutions are world-class. Unfortunately, I do not have the insight into the world of surgery to know more about these institutions and would feel somewhat embarrassed approaching an attending with this question...soo...help?
Thanks a lot guys, I really appreciate it!
