The Ultimate Premed & Medical Student Research Course

With each passing year, as medical school admissions and residency matching become more competitive, students are turning to research to elevate their applications. 

As both schools and board exams are transitioning to pass/fail, traditional hard metrics are becoming less heavily weighted, and other components, particularly research, are becoming more front and center in determining a candidate’s competitiveness. 

But unless you’re one of the few to naturally develop a strong inclination to research, you probably don’t know where to start. Or if you have started, you’ve found yourself assisting at a lab or small clinical study but not making much headway, and certainly not publishing multiple separate projects. 

What if we told you there are premed and medical students, just like you, who are able to publish not just one or two, but multiple dozens of publications to wow admissions committees? And it’s not because they’re gifted or smarter than you, but rather because they have learned the little known strategies to become prolific.

As the medical education landscape transitions away from traditional hard metrics in favor of pass/fail, many students fear nepotism, school prestige, and other factors out of their control will be prioritized when it comes time to apply to medical school and residency. 

Research is quickly becoming the last bastion for meritocratic selection, and for better or worse, the way to best approach research to bolster your application is not the same way to approach research if you’re intent on becoming an academic.

In other words, to become a top candidate and get into highly competitive programs, it is becoming more and more necessary to have an impressive research CV.

You might be thinking, “but I hate research!”

You’re not alone, and in fact most students find research tedious at best. Many students are frustrated given the steep learning curve and lack of comprehensive resources designed for optimizing research for a medical school or residency application.

We’ve been in your shoes, and with our collective 200+ years of medical school and residency admissions committee experience at Med School Insiders, we understand the importance and weight assigned to research in the modern era. 

After doing the heavy lifting, we’ve distilled the process to becoming a research superstar into a stepwise and repeatable process outlined in this course. We’ll show you how it’s done, step by step, and make the traditionally painful process feel almost pain free.
