Background: I’m an undergrad accepted to a “reserved seat” program at a Midwestern medical school. I’ll matriculate in August 2019. During my time in undergrad, I’ve had some very negative experiences with science research that make me very hesitant about getting involved with it again during medical school. But also during this time, I’ve developed a strong interest in bioethics and how it relates to other aspects of medicine (healthcare policy, healthcare economics, medical sociology, etc)—so much so that I picked up a minor in this area.
I’d love to get involved in bioethics research before/during medical school—perhaps even get a Master’s. However, I don’t have any idea what specialty I want to go into at this point, and I understand that research is practically a prerequisite for many competitive specialties. So my question is this—how favorably/unfavorably is bioethics research looked upon in residency applications, and how does it compare to classical basic science/medical research?
Thanks in advance
