❔ Question How to get part-time clinical research in gap year

Graduated from undergrad school with a top med school and lots of research opportunities. Have done some bench research in the past but my goal going forward is to hopefully get on some pubs before I apply. Maybe things like case studies, review papers and/or retrospective studies. I currently work a full time patient care job. How can I go about getting into this kind of research and doing it on the side?

Networking.

Find physicians and ask if they have any projects that they need help on. Best shot is at academic teaching hospitals.

Would it be best to email residents and/or med students? Also, how would I go about finding the best students/attendings to email? Should they be in later years of training?
