Hi! I've been accepted to Tulane SOM, so I've been thinking about my plan for the next four years. I don't know what specialty I want yet.
As a premed, it was very clear to me what ECs I needed--patient-contact clinical, research, volunteer, leadership. There were guides online for about how many hours to aim for in each, what I should expect to get out of each of them, etc. I'/m trying to find a similar guide for med school, but Google is just kicking back resources for premeds.
I think I know that some med students do research, but it's not as 'necessary' as it was to get into med school. Is this right? What other things would a residency expect me to have done?
Also, I know pre-studying for M1 is pretty useless, but I'm really bored at work, like I have multiple full days of literal nothing, so I'd like some actually useful ideas on how to spend that time.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice!
