Dear Researching,

Many schools consider research a “strong” asset [read: requirement]. However, the impression I get from many residents, preceptors and program directors, is that research is research. I would not [and did not] worry about doing research in a specific field. No one expects you to know in your preclerkship years which specialty you’ll end up in [except maybe plastics *sighs audibly*]. Just find a fun project and learn something new.
