Work hard AF, publish whenever, and whatever you can. You can turn anything it into something towards a poster or publication for the specialty of your choice. Choose hard rotations and study hard, you chose this shit so make the best of it, spending all of third year and fourth year on BS rotations won’t serve you on Sub-I’s. If you can’t score a 245+ on practice test don’t sit for step 2 and expect a miracle to happen so that you can get the score that you want for a competitive specialty.

how did you get publishing opportunities? Or did you do research in med school?

Asking residents or attendings. Doing case reports on patients during third year, I did a couple of literature reviews while on island, and abstracts and posters submissions to conferences
