Why do research?

Participating in research is a great way to get the opportunity to work with faculty and possibly foster a life-long relationship with a mentor. The

"bench to bedside" approach that is driving modern biomedicine suggests that research will have an even larger impact on medical practice in the future.

Research

training gives you a favorable advantage when applying for residency positions.

Research training will make you a better physician with a sharper mind and stronger critical thinking skills.

What should you do next summer?

Be true to yourself!

Do something you are really interested in

If you are considering a competitive specialty consider doing research

What you do is unlikely to make or break your chances of matching

Please discuss all of this with your advisor!
