I'd like to start by thanking Andrew for all the helpful posts. I'm a first year med student, beginning classes in Boston next month. The ophth FAQ's page was very helpful. I'm trying to assess how soon I need to start thinking about and acting upon a career in ophthalmology. Should I be looking into a research position for the summer of '05? I think I'll have my hands full with intro classes during my first year (I've been working as an electrical engineer for 3 years). After reviewing the residency match poll data on this forum, I get the impression there is no magical formula for obtaining a top-choice match. Any advice for a 1st year student, potentially leaning towards ophthamology?
Also, Andrew, on the FAQ's page you mentioned "The Academy also publishes an introductory book for medical students." Can you tell me the title of this book? Thanks.
