Heading into this summer I was supposed to start working on a low-key, fun project, but now it looks like that is going to fall through. My question is whether I should hurry to see if I can become involved in something else (non-orthopaedic)? Otherwise, I have kept up running, am helping to organize a week-long program for high school students, and will do a little work for my father. I could also possibly help on the medical staff of a kids camp. I am one of those people with OK grades where research will probably help them. I have heard though, of third-years at my school doing a short-term (~ a month or so) reserch experience before they apply to residencies and didn't know if I sould instead just count on this as a good alternative.
