I'm a first year medical student possibly looking at entering emergency medicine.
I was wondering what some of you did during your summer off between first and second year.
People are telling me that due to the increased popularity and competition for residency spots in EM that research is a good idea.
Problem is, I don't have any research background nor do I care to spend time in a lab. Clinical research wouldn't be too bad.
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
I've worked in EDs before and have a position waiting for me should I choose to go back and work over the summer.
Is it necessary to use the time to network, do research, or something along those lines?
Thanks for the help.
