How important is conducting research in your chosen field for a residency?
I have an opportunity to help out a professor in his research, but I'm not certain I want to go into his particular field (neurology). I am very interested in what we'd be working on, but I have my eyes set on a different field that is somewhat adjacent to his (something surgical). I've tried contacting another researcher who I really want to work with but he's been hard to reach.
I am going to work with the guy who wants to take me on, but in terms of residency selection how preferrable is it that I conduct research in the field I'm really interested in?
Thanks...
