Publish your undergraduate research in Journal of Young Investigators PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 04 February 2010 17:48

Take initiative to publish your undergraduate research.  Many undergraduate institution have a peer-reviewed journal that publishes the research of undergraduates.  It's not the same as publishing in a science journal peer-reviewed by other scientists, but at least you have shown initiative to the medical school that you did take time to put together the data that you collected over the years into a publishable format.  This is definitely a positive mark on your application and looks better than if you didn't publish in your undergraduate journal.

 

If you want more visibility, then you may want to consider publishing in Journal of Young Investigators (www.jyi.org).  This is a journal for undergraduates around the world publishing original research in various scientific disciplines in addition to publishing feature articles.  The scientific manuscripts are peer reviewed by undergraduates majoring in that discipline along with a faculty mentor who helps critic the manuscript alongside the undergraduate reviewer.  I highly suggest that you look into this.

 

Publishing anywhere shows initiative. Especially if you are MD/PhD, try to publish and if not submit your work as a poster at a conference.

 
MD/PhD Blogs PDF Print E-mail

There are two great MD/PhD blogs on the internet.  Although they are not updated frequently, they do contain a wealth of information on what it is like to be in an MD/PhD program.  Also provides a lot of commentary on interviewing for residencies as an MD/PhD.  I would highly suggest you go through these blogs if you are considering applying for an MD/PhD program or if you wanted to know more about what the program entails.  I do find some posts very entertaining.  Overall, each blog posting is well written.

Baccalaureate/MD Programs are joint programs that guarantee a spot at the medical school if the student in the joint program graduates with a certain academic standard.  You have to apply as a high school student into these programs.  These programs are meant for those high school students who can convince the programs that the medical profession is in their blood.

 

A few programs that I know of are...

 

University of Southern California Baccalaureate/MD Program

UCR/UCLA Thomas Haider Program in Biomedical Sciences

University of Florida Baccalaureate/MD Program
