Are you supposed to list undergrad pubs/posters/oral presentations in your CV once into medical school?

Yes, for those that are significant. National conference = yes. Undergrad, school-wide research symposium = probably not.

Okay thanks. All my stuff is in the former category, luckily, I just wasn't sure if it would be considered relevant seeing as stuff prior to start of undergrad is considered irrelevant for med schools.

If you need to boost your research experience on your CV, it definitely won't hurt to include undergraduate research presentations. Undergraduate research experience is still considered pertinent after you get into medical school and beyond.

Not the case. You are part of academia even as an undergrad.

Yeah, I agree - obviously those sorts of things aren't going to be game-changers, but they are still worth mentioning.
