Lots of people at my school do "research for credit", where you basically show up to do research 10-15 hours/week and get a free A in a 3 credit course.
Many inflate their science GPA through this method.
There are also many fellowships and research programs available to do research in, which you have to get selected for after applying to them.
Are these the preferred way medical schools want research to be done (course or program) because it is "explicitly shown"?
Can you volunteer in a lab while taking a regular schedule load? Does this look bad because you don't get credits or recognition from a program?
