Just a matter of choosing your battle... I meant, regular B.Sc+MD is 2 years longer than the premed program. I'm sure you'll do well whatever you decide - though I think the US is slightly better placed for research - if you're Canadian... :) XD Doing anything, and doing it well, seems formidable to me.

How much does a teenager know about what she wants to do for the rest of her life? I mean, we think we know, but it's all up in the air until we actually do it. Anyway, about the researching, it's possible to do both. I know people who work in hospitals/clinics half the time and do lab research on the side. It all depends on what you want to do.
