Madmedicine Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Hey everything. I just wanted to gauge everyone's idea of what they think is more relevant for medical school: clinical research or laboratory research. I'm genuinely interested in what you think. Also, I think this might help you guys if you are wondering between the two: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_7N8-r9ohA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathvvv Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 both is relevant they are both useful and relevant equally in medicine (depends on specialty, one may be more relevant/useful than the other) do what you are interested in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey D. Luffy Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 For admissions purposes? There is no preference, although admittedly I think it's generally a lot easier to get published in clinical studies. Additionally, if it's in a specialty you want to pursue in the future, it obviously yields many more benefits down the road in terms of pubs, networking, etc. There's so many more important factors though like which you enjoy more, if the PI can write you a good letter of reference, and which is less time intensive so you can focus on GPA (if you're doing research during the school year).

garceyues Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 If I already have plenty of lab research, would it be prudent to try clinical research? I also am not the biggest on lab research- I enjoy it, but I couldn't see myself doing it forever. Clinical research seems like it would interest me more and would be more directly applciacble to life if that makes any sense. Getting published easier is also a bonus What do you guys think?
