Nutrition LOR = science LOR?
My strongest letters would come from my nutrition professors and PI. I assume this would be fine since anatomy, physiology, chemistry, and biochemistry are prerequisites for many nutrition classes and it’s all science. They aren’t looking for basic science letters right? @LizzyM (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Post-Bacc/Masters Program Advice
Looking for some advice.
Due to a variety of reasons I'll be graduating in Spring 2020 with a gpa of probably only slightly more than 2.5 (I know I royally ****ed up).

Metabolic medicine?
I read that chemical pathologists can specialize in metabolic medicine. I just stumbled accross this yesterday and found it quite intriguing
My questions are:

All I hear its a relatively newer subspecialty and that they can treat any metabolic manifestations and are involved in parenteral nutrition. There's a fair amount of lab and patient contact which sounds cool.
Involved in treating diabetes, hypertension, obesity...

What do premeds do in research?
Hello, I recently started college, so I do not have that much experience in health science, let alone clinical research. I do really well in my current science courses, but I haven't started my biology/anatomy courses yet, so I only know the basics of these 2 subjects. I wanted to start doing research so I reached out to a nutritional health researcher. He replied that he could look into it but that he wants to know what I want to do/will do in his research projects. My problem is that I...
