Did I make a mistake when expressing my professional interests?
In my applications to highly-ranked, research-heavy schools, I made clear my interest in both research and rural medicine. Was this a mistake?

Would working OOS to help out with the COVID crisis look bad? NY resident

The patient is 80 and relatively healthy, but doesn't want surgery, and isn't really interested in driving somewhere to meet with interventional radiology, or for that matter a hepatolgist...
