Hello everyone! I recently started my second year at a D.O. school located in the midwest. During my first year of medical school, I was too focused on studying for exams and totally neglected joining any clubs or any other extracurricular activities, and I feel like I have put myself in a huge disadvantage, considering that my residency application will look pretty empty if I let this continue.
Is there still any extracurriculars that I can do before I graduate in 2026, and will I have time to still build a competitive residency application? Off the top of my head, the specialities I prefer would probably be Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, and/or Neurology. I would like some advice please, this has been bothering me for days and has put me down. I have contacted my friends that are in clerkship at my school to get advice, and I would like some here as well. Thank you!
