She offers some tips about how to prepare for it and how to look for a research program that will be the right one for you.&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Research isn\u2019t for everyone, and in the end, there are tons of medical school students who did not do research over the summer and still match into amazing programs. After all, most medical school students only get one summer so it\u2019s best to do something you are passionate about. With Step 1 coming up in year two, I also recommend finding some time to relax and rejuvenate before a strenuous year of studying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Preparing_for_the_Search\"><\/span>Preparing for the Search<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First and foremost, I highly recommend perfecting your CV. Get a variety of opinions from friends, mentors, and career counselors. Personally, I found looking at some of my peer\u2019s CVs particularly helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a great&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/2020\/03\/10\/how-to-build-an-outstanding-curriculum-vitae-during-medical-school\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Osmosis blog<\/a>&nbsp;that has tips regarding how to create a strong CV. Also, I recommend to start building relationships with faculty as soon as you start your first year! You will often need recommendations for research programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, I would take some time to think about what you are interested in and what you want to gain out of your summer. Was there a topic you found especially interesting during your first year? Is there a specialty you are interested in or a specific faculty member you worked well with?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, take some time to think about what type of research you want to do. Do you want to do a literature review or bench research? Qualitative or quantitative? These are all important questions, and you should have a general idea of your answers before you start to network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Networking\"><\/span>Networking<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Second, third, and fourth year students have all been through this process before.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/2021\/03\/25\/how-to-find-research-opportunities-in-medical-school\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Reach out to them! They are almost always more than happy to help.<\/a>&nbsp;I would recommend reaching out to older students you personally know. If they don\u2019t know of any opportunities for you, chances are they know another student or faculty member that may be able to help you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"468\" src=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/networking.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/networking.png 700w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/networking.png?resize=300,201 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reach out to your school&#8217;s career counselor or other research faculty. You can also try to reach out to residents at the local hospitals. When emailing someone about a research opportunity, make sure to have a professional and effective email drafted. Include a short blurb about yourself, why you are interested in their specific research, and the specific dates you are available to meet and participate in the research. Also, make sure to include a current copy of your CV!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Research_Programs\"><\/span>Research Programs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you don\u2019t want to do research at a local hospital there are several big\/combined programs! Some combine research with leadership and community service opportunities. Many even include stipends which is always a plus! Some of these programs can be pretty time consuming, but you do get the opportunity to meet new people and even live in a different city &#8211; just remember to keep in mind your goals for the summer. When searching for such opportunities, I had a lot of luck with simple google searches using the keywords \u201cmedical school research fellowship\u201d or \u201csummer medical research opportunities.\u201d During my searches, I found that many of these programs have pretty early deadlines (late December-early February) so make sure to start looking into these early. Also, several programs will require a recommendation letter so keep that in mind!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Summer_Opportunities\"><\/span>Other Summer Opportunities<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As I said earlier, research is not for everyone. Additionally, there are MANY opportunities for research over your third and fourth years. In the end, you should do whatever will make you the happiest and refresh you for a long, strenuous year of step studying. Some examples I\u2019ve heard from older students: volunteer, work, travel, maybe even get married!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About Christina Cortes&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Christina Cortes is a first-year student at&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/medicine.mercer.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Mercer University School of Medicine<\/em><\/a><em>.
