PGY-3 peds resident at a low-to-midtier academic Northeast peds program applying to PICU. Colleague had mentioned that a publication is more impressive to PICU programs than a presentation (maybe because they’ve been virtual past 1.5 years)… any truth to this?
I’d love to know what to emphasize in interviews if they ask me about my research.
Also, how much research experience is too little for PICU (I’ve heard that PICU as a career is not as research-heavy as NICU or cardiology)?
I feel like my single publication (review article in PubMed) and single [virtual] presentation (case report) are somewhat lackluster for my application.
