Just wondering if this is a thing. Interested in general surgery right now and have a few abstracts already accepted/have many more in the works. Is too much ever a thing?
When you say abstracts do you mean conference abstracts without a manuscript or what?Realistically, no.
However when someone has a glut of middle author papers, I'm more likely to probe the details when interviewing. I do know that for many, the volume is impressive. But when I'm ranking people, I'm much more interested in quality. It's always great when an applicant can describe a project they took from beginning to end (especially if they helped develop the original question).
Also, if there are a bunch of abstracts with no manuscripts, I'm going to ask a question about "why". Not because I think it's a disqualifier, but because the answer can be informative.
Yes, exactly. When it comes to surgically-adjacent conferences, it's really not that hard to get an abstract on anymore. A "full" podium presentation (vs. a "quick shot"), is a plus but sometimes hard to tell that from looking at a CV.When you say abstracts do you mean conference abstracts without a manuscript or what?
Also- appreciate the response.
