Working as "research assistant" can boost your application profile.

Please take a look at the Sample Application Forms on our website:
http://usmleweb.com/showarticlebd.html

In two sample applications, you see that there is a space where you have an option to let the residency PDs know about your experience.

It is always considered favourably if you have clinical externships or observerships or some research experience.
