MH research

I've been in communication with the director of the MH registry, and there's a good possibility I will be doing MH research this summer with her or someone else (the summer between M1 and M2). She wants to know what I'm interested in doing.

Do any of you have any suggestions on what kinds of projects would be best for a medical student? A review of cases (involving computers and a statistical package), lab work with assays, something clinical, something else?

Also, is it rude/inappropriate to ask her if there would be any possibility of getting published or asking which types of projects would be more likely to get published?

Thanks

hey there youngin'

reminds me of a few years ago. in terms of what kind of project you get involved with....ANYKIND is good. In fact, even stuff that's not Anesthesia related. Actually, I think it makes for good conversation if it's something that doesnt involve anesthesiology. A few times on teh trail for both prelim and for Anesthesiology, the interviewers and I have gotten off on the most random tangents about some summer research i did.

about possibility of getting published. Nah, i dont think it's necessarily inappropriate. If this person is at a med school, she knows that you are looking to get something published in order to help you out for residency. I say, just be up front with her and tell her the truth about what your time constraints are. You never now, she may have a 'easy' project laying around which could just take a month or so, instead of a year or so to publish.

goodluck!
