Hello all,
I am an incoming first year starting in August, and I was wondering if I could receive some advice on whether I should take an LOA for research after my FIRST year.
After graduating from college, I have been working as a research tech in a basic science lab (immunology) for a few years. My time there has fortunately been fruitful, as I was able to submit a paper to a mid-to-high impact score journal, which hopefully will be published within this year. There are a few projects going on in the lab, and I hope to help out next year after my first year in med school.
However, it would mean I’d have to take an LOA for a year, and I was wondering if it would be worth it. Not sure if this information would help, but the specialty of interest at the moment is Heme/Onc. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
