Research year for psych

Hey all. I am a US MD student in my 4th year. All pass for my clinical rotations. No research. Was on executive board for a medical school club. Haven't taken Step 2 yet. Red flags: Pass on Peds Sub-I. I am looking to match psychiatry; I'd be happy at a community psych program in rural Nebraska. Would a research year allow me to demonstrate interest in psychiatry and improve my chances of matching psych?
