Why are there so many people who are so negative about studying during the MS1 - MS2 summer? So what if, God forbid, a student actually enjoys studying and learning material that will be relevant to his future practice? (I am talking about learning important things like disease states, etc. not all of the origins and insertions of the muscles of the foot) Personally, I am going to do some light review of MSI material and skim over the Goljan RR book. Nothing hardcore, just 30 or so hours a week will my wife is at work anyway. I think I would feel like a useless sloth if I just sat around all day. BTW, I already did a full summer of research (and was published...thank God!), so I really don't want to do any more research. I say, if you have the motivation to do so, go for it.🙂
