Hi guys,
I'm an average - above average med student studying overseas and am on summer break between m1 and m2.
I'm curious as to what to do with my summer. I'd rather work and earn cash - but I can afford not to - I'd rather do something that helps me do well on step 1 and get a good residency (enuff screw ups w/ my life so far )
So, whats the deal - does doing research help - what have you heard? Will I get a chance to do this in the clinical years instead?
Problem is I don't really know what field I want to go into - leaning toward emergency, gen surgery, ortho (long shot), or the business and admin side of medicine.... i assume its good to do the research in ure field of interest...
any and all advice is much appreciated.
thanks,
the 55
