MD/PhD Research Experience Essay

I am splitting up my research experience into 2 main projects I have done. I have a variety of projects but these two are my most significant.

I am structuring it as mini-journal articles. That is, for each project, after giving the PI, duration, dates, project title, etc., I give an Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion.

Is this okay? I'm not really sure what structure to use.

I wouldn't quite structure it like that. I would not make it so technical. I would give a broad overview of your projects, but focus on WHY you want to do the MD/PhD route, rather than just one of the degrees over the other.

The research essay should be focusing more on what you got out of the experience than what you did. Briefly describe the problem, the hypothesis, and what you found, but focus mostly on what YOU did and what that taught you.
