curlycity said:There are student-run, physician/faculty supported, 'official' interest groups for the major fields, but I'm interested in something less popular so I just called up the residency office here at Baylor a couple of months ago (I'm MS-1) and their coordinator put me in touch with a very student-friendly, high-up gentleman who took out an hour of his morning to talk with me, and invited me to see surgeries with him for a day. Of course the 3rd and 4th year med students who *had* to be there that day thought I was crazed, but the point is, there are lots of opportunities to meet excellent mentors and get a look at a day in the life of a lot of specialties very early on. That's one of the major reasons I'm happy to be here, not necessarily the brilliant metabolism lectures.
Hope this helps![]()
It does. Thanks.
