i've been an RA at my school's lab for a full school year now (~300 hours). the focus of the study is something that's genuinely interesting and ties in well to my life experiences, which would really help establish a solid narrative for my app. right now, i'm just doing basic data entry/collection but next year i'll be able to do more "meaningful" things like interacting with subjects, handling and using equipment etc.
the issue is that i'm planning to apply primarily DO, and i'm not sure if having any more research experience will hold as much weight as MD schools. i enjoy the work i'm doing, but if more research hours won't help my application much then reallocating this spent time towards clinical hours would probably be better for me. should i continue research?
