I'm an undergrad studying physics now. I plan on applying to a medical physics M.S. program in the next few years. The program is in partnership with a hospital, and in the second year, I'll do a research project with a faculty member of the hospital.
My question concerns what I should be doing now to best prepare to excel in the research. The hospital gives preferential treatment to top graduates of the M.S. program. I feel that the better my research project, the better chance I'll have of gaining a coveted residency position.
Are there areas of research that hospitals focus on? And in those research areas, are there skills that will better prepare me to tackle the research (e.g. electrical engineering, programming, thorough understanding of quantum mechanics, etc.)
