This relates to admission to medical school, or just in general.
I noticed pre-meds have two typical types of authorship in publications:
1) Middle-back author on a clinical-trial study (i.e. #15 out of 20 authors)
2) Middle authorship in a list of few people on basic science/humanities research (i.e. 2nd out of 3 authors)
Are each kind looked more favorable upon when adcoms review the application? Does the amount of authors matter in a publication?
First-authorship/co-authoring in review articles does not apply here.
