I've been told a great many of the derm applicants have published research, but in my MS0 ignorance, I'm not sure I even know what you guys mean when you say "published research."
Does that mean the derm applicant did his own original research with the guidance of a mentor, the derm applicant was 1st author of a manuscript he wrote himself, and published it in a journal?
Or does it mean the applicant helped on a PI's research project, the PI wrote a manuscript, the PI published it in a journal and listed the derm applicant as 5th author (just an example)?
I guess I'm asking, do you have to be 1st author or can you be simply named on the paper as a coauthor to say you have published research?
