If I were to match at a research heavy (basic mostly) program when I am personally not interested in doing research beyond the bare minimum requirements, do you guys feel faculty/PD would hold it against me?

Can you just do a case report or find an eager med student and publish something simple for most of these requirements?

agree actually i don't think anyone is certain we're all hearing diff things bc i heard case was reserach heavy so i think person above is so right ask the residents!!> Case is research heavy. Has its own research group for med students and publishes constantly

the residents at UCSD said even though there is a reseach requirement, you can do the minimum if you're not interested in research
