Academic Medicine Interest Group at UTMB

Projects that have a real impact on a community are highly regarded by residency programs, but it's not always apparent how to produce scholarly output from these types of projects.

While students may not have as many opportunities to do ground-breaking medical research, they do have real opportunities to have an impact on their community through service projects.

In Dr. Szauter's opinion, students who demonstrate what they're passionate about during med school really stand out on applications and interviews.

Students often believe that high numbers of research pubs/presentations are necessary to match in competitive specialties or at a competitive location. This can lead students to pursue any and every research opportunity, even if they don't find it interesting personally.
