I'm currently a DO student with poor grades (a few failures preclinical) I have the aptitude for success though. Scored 37 MCAT, with research no pubs during undergrad and a 250+ USMLE.
How can I get involved in research say at the NIH? I'm currently a 3rd year and plan to go into IM. Do I have to wait until I start a residency to have that opportunity?
Suppose I am interested in the NIH- are there ways to get this experience even with not so great grades etc? Like take a year off to do paid work. I'd like to do it in something I'm interested in- specifically biostatistics, epidemiology, or anything math based with a potential for high publication - IE less dependent on the damned mice.
Please advise.
