Hi all,
I am a rising MS2. I got my name on a few publications before med school, but they were in biodefense/bioterrorism issues- not very clinical or science orientated. How will these look to top residency programs in internal med? I am not doing any research this summer, but am working in family medicine (I figured it would be a good way to get a wide range of experience) for a few weeks.
Does it make a difference that I have my name on publications despite the field, and does it matter that I am not doing research specifically this summer- or does it only make a difference if you have publications at all, regardless of timing.
Thanks!
