I'm submitting my apps soon, and I can't help but notice that 90%+ of applicants on MSAR, it seems, have research experience when applying to school.
YikesI didn't like volunteering with those special needs kids at the basketball camp but I sucked it up and dunked all over them. Then I updated my CV.
My favorite "non-researchers" did amazing public policy research in medical school.And why cant you be involved in something along those lines while as UG via public health, social health care or public policy, social welfare, or even economics research or studies going at your school? Or at any larger hospital, public health clinic, or many other clinic sites? Delivery of healthcare to underserved populations, homeless, etc, may be seen at any of the social services that work with these populations
Actually you indicated that you do want to do it once in medical school; try finding or creating it now so you can get into medical school.
Good point!From an application standpoint, he is probably fine without research
From a "professionalism" or "physicianship" standpoint , I think the misplaced motivation of avoiding research and the misunderstanding, even the lack of creativity in finding something that would fulfill the applicant's ultimate goal of studying delivery of care in a primary setting, is a bit shorted sighted.
