4. AAMC Careers in Medicine  Consider your long-term goals. Your career will evolve and you likely won’t have it all figured out yet — nor should you, but try to envision the big picture. Is there a specialty you’re strongly considering? How do you see yourself one day? As a physician scientist or maybe busy in a private community practice?  Consider your short-term goals for the upcoming summer and how they might contribute to your long-term goals. Gaining experience in a specific specialty through a clinical or research program can help you refine your career plans or improve your chances of matching into a competitive specialty. Some specialties value research experience more highly than others. The Results of the NRMP® Program Director Survey outline how program directors in 19 specialties view research when evaluating candidates.Results of the NRMP® Program Director Survey  Consider your personal needs and wants as well as your professional ones. While the summer has increasingly become a block of time to do something productive, you may be burned out and need a break or significant vacation time.  Now that you have some ideas, start researching opportunities early — ideally, December or January of your first year. Contact people in your network from college and your first year of medical school.opportunities To explore various summer opportunities listed on the AAMC CiM website go to https://www.aamc.org/cim/specialty/skillsandexperiences/clinicalandresearchopportunities/33806 0/summerprograms.html https://www.aamc.org/cim/specialty/skillsandexperiences/clinicalandresearchopportunities/33806 0/summerprograms.html

5. AAMC Careers in Medicine

6. Why do research? A good mentor can be a valuable career resource. Research increasingly contributes to the way physicians treat their patients. The "bench to bedside" approach that is driving modern biomedicine suggests that research will have an even larger impact on medical practice in the future. Participating in research is a great way to get the opportunity to work with faculty and possibly foster a life- long relationship with a mentor. Research training gives you a favorable advantage when applying for residency positions. Research training will make you a better physician with a sharper mind and stronger critical thinking skills.
