Some tips from the episode:
Get involved
- Even if you’re not destined for an academic career, getting involved in research early on can help you to participate with the scientific literature, understand data, and incorporate new research into your practice.
- Realistically, research is an important component of your ERAS application and your CV. It’s also a great opportunity to learn new skills and develop strong relationships with mentors.
Remember why you’re in medical school
- You came to medical school to become a doctor first – don’t forget that or let research take away from it. Your mentors have been through it and understand that things get busy.
