HI GUYS

Hei,
I don't have a PhD but I'm doing research for a good univ program; I don;t know if it helps to get into surgery, but definitely it's good to have it on your CV and in my case came with a very good LOR. So go ahead.

research in the US, preferable within a univ program; in my case, this helped me with connections and a favorable general impression when I talk to people about what I'm doing...the help with residency is yet to be proved when I'm gonna count the interviews...

If you want to go for a specialty or fellowship, research experience in US is a must!! that's part of the reason there are more and more DOs (MD + PHD)

To Crista: Does clinical research help even without publishing? I know research does not have as much weight as USCE.

The idea is that you go to an interview and they're gonna ask you, so do you have any experience with our system? yes, I'm! I worked with...and I did this...and I learnt that...so I can bring my contribution in a future project...If you work in an univ program, your boss has to know somebody from IM department and if you make good impression, they can help you with a good observership. Bottom line: I'll do it again in a heartbeat.

Hi guys [& Bhagat]
Do you think USCE [clinical attachment] is superior to non-US research with a PhD and reasonable number of publications as 1st author ?
