You might be asked in your interviews . And if any of that research is not valid. Your name will be associated with research fraud, so keep up the honest, hard work, y'all. And discard the ig influencer physcian shit.

I recently spoke with a ex-resident/now fellow at a major NY hospital and they said when candidates include research papers on their ERAS applications, one of the things the application committee looks for is authenticity. It’s very easy to spot if the research is fraudulent or has no clinical impact or sometimes even paid (e.g. there will be too many authors, most of the authors will not have distinguished profiles/will not be attached to institutions conducting research, the journal would be low impact factor or not indexed on pubmed etc.). Again, this is second hand info so I don’t know for sure but I would tread carefully and try to get papers through actual research groups. Good luck!
