Hello everyone, I had a quick question about research experience needed to be competitive for residency. I watch a lot of videos by Med School Insiders on youtube as I've found there to be some overlap with vet med and while watching a video on the human residency equivalents of what I'd want to specialize in (neurosurgery and orthopedic surgery, although it's just neurology and neurosurgery and then large/small animal surgery for vet med) I saw the average matched resident had around 16-18 research experiences (like projects, presentations and publications).
Is it similar with veterinary specialties? So far, I've worked on 3 projects (1 I assisted on, the most recent 2 have been primarily my own), have done 4 presentations (3 oral, 1 poster), and have received 2 grants and 1 award for presenting. Do these all count? I plan to (hopefully) publish at least once at some point during vet school if I can.
I start vet school at CSU this fall and plan to continue research more centered around what I'd like to specialize in there, but wanted to see if I was getting enough at this stage of undergrad. Any insight would be seriously appreciated!!!
