Hi all,
I’ve been in contact (phone call, emails) over the last 7 weeks with a physician (Dr. S) in a competitive surgical specialty I’m interested in doing funded summer research through my school. My school requires an application due in 2 weeks to be submitted to be funded for the summer research program.
Dr. S has offered projects to me but has been sporadic/delayed in response (assuming she is just swamped), with the last communication ten days ago. (I have sent a follow-up). I’m getting nervous as I don’t have a fallback mentor for research right now.
Should I start reaching out to other physicians for research? I’m worried Dr. S will respond after I elect to move forward with another physician, she will be annoyed/and potentially impact our relationship/burn a bridge for wasting her time. But with the application deadline approaching I'm sweating a bit.
TIA! Sorry for typos ; mobile
