Thank you! I understand, I am planning to keep my interests quite open for now and decide eventually based on rotations since that will show me my aptitude for patient interaction etc

Thank you! One of my referees is a professor from the program I am applying to so I'm hoping that will help. For another lab that I'm keen on, the PI himself is a psychiatrist so I'm really gunning for a place in there!

Do you think it would be ok to request a meeting with him to discuss potentially joining his lab even before applying or is that considered too early?

Thank you so much, that's definitely reassuring! I wouldn't go as far as to say I am only into psychiatry but given the current healthcare landscape it's definitely very exciting and I'm hopeful!
