I'm a 3rd year med student working with a new PI in ortho, hoped to initially jump on 2-3 projects get them published in the next year and call it a day, maybe even an LOR if the universe decided to bless me any further. But this guy has me working exclusively on protocols! At first it was fine because i write well and quickly but I have not been able to work on anything with a planned publication timeline since we started working together (4 months ago). I legitimately think i'm being used as an IRB-protocol writing slave just so that this guy can get more established at our institution.
Ultimately, my question is: is any of this worth even putting on ERAS? Two of the protocols have been approved by our IRB, there are 2 more he's got me working on now so i guess this is "research experience" but should i just ditch and try to find another research mentor or stick it out? I'm not familiar with any of this, but it definitely just feels like i'm being taken advantage of since he's not publishing anything at this time
