Research Year - Where to Go?
Hi, I have a few choices for my upcoming research year, and I'm not sure which one to choose. I have a meeting with my advisor soon as well. I'd rather not ask my mentor about this since he might be biased towards one choice (home program).
Research Locations & Their Pros/Cons:
Home ortho program: Weak research output, but will increase home program support - will help residents with their research + come up with my own
Go back to summer research location: Strong research output (4 pubs in 1.5 months), amazing attending support, but not really where I want to match
New location (where I want to match): Unknown research output and unknown attending support, but it is 100% where I want to match. My girlfriend and I are planning on getting engaged and she and her whole family live there.
