I'll be an MS1 starting this August, and was wondering if anyone can offer some advice in regards to research while in med school. I have my main questions below.
Is it possible to do significant (publishable) lab research while in med school, without your life being study/research/eat/sleep?
How do you recommend finding research mentors?
Does it make sense to do research in a specialty that interests you early on, or rather to do something that is more general (like wound healing, cancer, or stem cell research)?
Also, just any general insights/things you learned along the way/regrets/good decisions made, would all be much appreciated. Thank guys!
