Medicine General

Feel free to post anything about healthcare. Anyone looking for advice on how to get into medschool I can help.

As for me I really want to be a surgeon and I'm picking between two labs and I'm completely torn.

Lab 1

Pro's
-pi is a surgeon
-students match very well
Con's
-work isn't as cool to me

Lab 2

Pro's
-Does machine learning work that blows my mind it's insanely cool
Con's
-Prof is phd and most people in his lab are too.

I'm an incoming MS1 at a top 20 med school. I really am leaning towards lab 2 because I'll learn more about machine learning which is my top thing other than surgery but part of me thinks I might be hurting myself down the line for applications.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.
