HI ALL
i just wanna start this thread to explore options after doing research works and projects (ICMR) during our MBBS curriculum and how they help during our interviews and while applying for GRE .i am just a beginner so want a help from some experienced guys/girls.i just know the nitty gritties of such project stuffs.but its incomplete knowledge..waiting for a beneficial reply.
i repeat my query how to start a research work?so that it should be published in an international journal.i know few seniors of mine who on the basis of research works made it to USA with average USMLE /GRE scores and even without taking USMLE /GRE .so help needed from an experienced one.anybody??[/code]

Hi

in reply to your query today--

To get into a good or even decent university in the US it isnt absolutely necessary to do any hi funda research. You must have a good GRE score ( 1300 plus) a decent undergraduate GPA ( 3.2 plus) and 3-4 letters of recommendations addressing your potential and aptitude as an ug student and whether u r likely to " make the cut" as a graduate student.

Meaning that u can include any small time project/ seminar/ group discussion/ poster presentation/ -- basically anything remotely academic that u did as a ug student. During ur internship- if u can get your name into any ongoing project say in the dept of Biochemistry / Microbiology / Physiology in your medical college
( assuming that you will be applying to molecular biology/ biomedical sciences)
and if you can corroborate such experience in your letter of recommendation ( LOR) that would perfect.

Of course if you do get involved into an ICMR project that would do no harm to your resume but its not absolutely necessary especially if you are applying to a relatively simple branch like Physiology

More important than all these is your SOP ( a document- generally 2 pages/ 1000-1500 words long that includes everything you have done in your academics and xtra curricular activities - with a main focus on your research experience and your acaedimic achievements) This document alone - if well written ( or badly written as the case maybe) is sufficent to turn the tables

Publication is not all necessary. Just showing some kind of research committment ( like your name - as a assistant in some project -ongoing or past is enough)

hope i answered ur query

Thank you Dipsite. I appreciate your help. I am in las vegas right now. Doing MPH. I am a research assistant. but my research topics are related to health care administration and are not about clinical research. Do you think that it will still help my cause.

Hmm...Well Clinical Research Experience of USA could have turned tables. Epidemiological Research does help but NOT to a great extent. It simply reflects that you know the basic protocol of Research.
