Question by ANT-a-gonistic: Med School-Research Experience and Prehealth Advisory Committee?
Do you think that having a strong background in research helps someone get into medical school or does it make it seem like they’d rather go to graduate school?

To get into med school, do you HAVE to be registered in your college’s prehealth advisory committee or is this just like a formality. I guess what I mean is if it’s necessary to actually apply to medical school.

You have to look into the medical school you are interested in. Some med schools train M.D./Ph.D’s especially for medical research. In that case, a background in research would help. A school with no research? Probably won’t help much…they look more at clinical/volunteer experiences to make sure you know what you’re getting into. As for the prehealth advisory committee…I doubt you have to be in it…I would do it just to have something else to add to your application.
