just wanted to get some input from either 3rd or 4th yrs, or practicing pods on how to spend the free summer b4 2nd yr begins. and any thing u wished u had done differently at that time.
i have 3 options that i can see now,
a) self indulgence (possibly lazy)/work/travel/bull**** away. i like this one right now. haha
b) research (either at temple---big neg here is that would req. more loan money, or research in my hometown at some med school/university but not pertaining to podiatry specifically)
c) shadow residents in my hometown
for option b) would research have to necessarily pertain to the field of podiatry, or does any research pertaining to medicine qualify as a resume booster for applying to residencies? could i just as well do research in diabetes, rather than it specifically obtaining to the lower extremity?
what do you think is the most useful/productive way to spend the summer? anything u can suggest other than what i posted?
thanks
