Hi everyone, I’m a medical student who’s very interested in cardiothoracic surgery, and I’d really like to get involved in research in that field.

I’m not entirely sure where to start, so I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to find research opportunities - e.g should I try cold emailing consultants or SpRs?

Any advice on how to get started, who to contact, what types of projects are realistic for a med student to contribute to, and how best to make myself useful would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
