Hi everyone,
I'm a first year almost entering the last summer vacation of my life. For a bit I've wanted to do ortho, and I've already applied to a summer research program at an ortho lab. However, my advisor has approached me to do a research fellowship this summer with her in immunology. My advisor has basically planned the summer for me and expects an abstract and hopefully publication (first author) to come from my time with her lab over the summer. My question is do I need to do ortho related research all throughout my medical school career if I end up applying for ortho residency? If I end up doing taking this immuno research fellowship, will i regret it in the future, assuming I have all the required test grades and likes?
I'm still relatively new to SDN, so please let me know if there's a specific forum I should be posting this is in... Thank you.
