Congratulations to all who matched this year!
I will be applying to hem/onc next cycle. I have a question regarding research. Can someone comment on what is considered as a "generally acceptable" research experience by most programs? I'm not talking here about the the top 3-4 programs, but rather the other reputable university programs. I have been following this forum and I keep reading (no research experience, some research exposure, decent research experience ...etc) but I cannot tell on what is "some" and what is "good" and what is "decent".
To make is easier, this is my research experience: 1st author on basic science paper related to oncology in a decent journal - 1st author on a case report in onc - 1st author on a review article in onc in mid-tier journal - 3 abstracts - 5 poster presentations (mostly local)
Of course, I have some ongoing research projects (2-3) but I wouldn't expect publication before I apply next year.
is that enough for good programs to notice my application and consider me as an applicant with good research exposure or do I need to be a PhD or have +7-8 papers to say that?
