Hi guys,
I'm entering university next year and I already want to plan for med school. I realized that it is never too late to start planning for the future so I'm very glad that I found this site and the helpful people on it 🙂.
I just have a few questions to ask about research. I did research in high school and enjoyed it, but it was a class anyone could sign up for. In college though, I know it isn't as simple as that. So here goes-
-I know that to start research in college, you have to ask your science professors for permission, but my question is how would the professor know you are suitable enough? Is it determined by your grades? Since science classes are generally large, do you have to make yourself noticed by visiting during office hours and making time to meet your professor?
-How does reaearch exactly work? Do you generally go when you have free time or are there designated days?
-How does one go about getting his or her work published? Are there some research material that is published more than others (like research on cancer and such? I'm interested in that a lot)
-What is the process of shadowing a physician like?
Thank you so much for reading and please help a young one out! I promise to make donations in the future since this will be like my college confidential for the next four years of my life! Hehe 🙂
