Hey guys, incoming M1 here. I'm going to a school that focuses on public health and has many public health initiatives in the community, but not as much wet lab research. My interests do fall within the realm of public health but after talking with many M1/M2's, there aren't many opportunities for publications with those professors that do this research.
My question for you guys is that how crucial is it to have publications for residency? I'm taking an early look into summer programs between M1-M2 and there were a few internships by the State Health Department, and CDC, that I'd be interested in, but don't think it would yield any publications. I don't know which specialty I want to pursue, but would like to keep my doors open. Thanks!
