Hi...
So this is a really, really dumb question (and I'm hoping for a more detailed answer than "one is done in the lab) ... but what is the difference between laboratory and non laboratory research?
Is it better to get a paid or an unpaid research experience? Do medical schools have a preference for what's put on your applicatioN/
I'm asking because I basically have a connection with a medical school and they're offering me the opportunity to do research. I know I should do what interests me, but he's trying to narrow it down to lab or non-lab research and I just don't know what kind of research that usually entails (personally, I thought all research was lab research, especially for medical schools. I can only see psych research as being "non-laboratory" because maybe they're doing social experiments or something like that).
Thank you so so much for tolerating my stupidity.
Cheers!
