blessedbutstressed 7 Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 As an MS1, I feel the same level of pressure to be as actively involved in my school's student clubs as possible. Is this involvement beneficial and/or even significant for CaRMS application in comparison to other experiences such as research? For example, I am currently working as a part-time research assistant in 2 different labs currently (one basic science and one clinical research) and I'm concerned that I will struggle with burnout as the months drag on.

bearded frog 471 Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 It doesn't really matter that much. Might help network and find mentorship in your chosen field though. It shouldn't cause burn out, the point of these groups is to help you, not make you feel obligated or have to work more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
