“bench >clinical” that true in every case? And greater to a large degree? What if I’m more interested in exploring clinical?

LizzyM:

Most pre-meds whose applications I see have bench research if they have any research at all (most do). Clinical research is rare and is less often “research” (systematic observations designed to advance generalizable new knowledge) and more often just submitting paperwork and doing scutwork without any intellectual engagement with the subject matter.
