Hi everyone,

My question is that it seems like the best time to do research in my program is summer after 1st year. However, I'm curious, if I do research with a orthopedic surgeon for example, how does that affect my application should i choose to purse NS, or optho, etc. Basically, i'm asking how research in a specialty affects my application in other, very competitive residencies should I choose my mind during med school. If it does, it feels like my decision for a specialty has to made very soon. Thanks for the responses.

Well my answer is still the same as when you asked in the General Residency Forum here.

At least one poster in the Optho forum agrees with me. 👍
