I'm trying to decide if I should do a research year after my second year of school. I already have an ophtho project going on which I should get at least a poster out of and probably a paper, and I plan to do a summer stint so if all goes well I will have two papers or one paper and one poster. Is there really any substantial added value to taking an entire year off to do research if I already have some under my belt? I'm 26 already as a m1, so i dont really want to waste time.
Research year b/t M2/M3 years or not?

If research is your cup of tea, then do it. If not, then you'll have someone like me tease it out of you during the admissions process.
I met many applicants who listed research after research project. When I asked them how their gene worked... uhhhh... no clue. Did they enjoy it? Did they devote 100% into it?
