Started my first research project during summer after MS2 for it not to be published
I started my first research project, a literature review, with a kind but extremely strict PI. He simply didn’t like my final draft at all, to the point where he told me he doesn’t think it’s worth finishing the project. His research assistants all told me he’s insanely harsh and that papers take a while to come out because of that.
Obviously, it’s disappointing as fuck, and disappointment is the name of the game in medicine. But I’m worried I blew all my chances of being even slightly competitive for IM. I lowkey feel like I wasted three months on this publication even though im grateful for the opportunity and all. Is the project still valid for CARMS?
Sorry if it feels like im venting a bit, just looking for any input or people who went through similar experiences.
