M2 at a mid-tier MD program. I took a medical leave of absence last year and failed/successfully remediated first block of M1. I'm back, though, and honored my first block back. I guess my question for y'all is if this is something I can come back from. I'm pretty set on IM, and definitely want to pursue a fellowship, ideally in H/O.
Second question is maybe a little more straightforward but I haven't really found a conclusive answer: how important is med school research for fellowship applications? Is that something I should be doing (especially given the red flags?) A lot of people have told me essentially that it's more important that it gets done during residency, but I guess I'm thinking I probably need to be a little more aggressive if I want to match into a decent IM program. Any thoughts help
