<p>In terms of research, I already have several years of research experience working on different projects, but I feel that my experiences have been limited in a way by 1) the long time it takes to get a substantive project done and 2) an insufficient amount of time to do this with an undergraduate courseload, albeit I have been overloading every semester. This is especially true of my current lab (which I have already worked in for a year). It seems that when I chose to get started working there, I did not give much thought to the amount of time it would take to produce substantive work on a subject which has already been heavily researched in the literature. And frankly at this stage I am a bit hesitant about switching labs at Duke since I have already committed a great deal of time and effort to my current lab, in addition to having already committed to them in the future. So I feel that a better option would be to stay with them for an additional year then do the masters.</p>
<p>W&M and Wake are fully funded for all masters students (full tuition remission + living stipend). I am working on getting all the info together for the other schools.</p>
<p>The only program I knew of that has research in the curriculum is Duke Med. They finish coursework there a year early and leave a whole year of research in the curriculum. Do you know of any comparable schools? It seems that by taking a year off during med school to do research, it would be the same as doing a masters timewise (both delayed by a year)?</p>
