I have an interview for surgery in a couple hours and I just thought of asking this when they ask me if I have any questions. I'm an IMG a couple years out of medical school and have been doing unpaid research and working another job to pay the bills. I was thinking of asking if there would be an opportunity to come start research with the program after the match but before the start of residency. Would a PD see this question as a sign of an enthusiastic candidate or a desperate one? (Yes I am in fact both lol)
