I'm an incoming M1. One of my personal side projects during my gap year was to write a literature review. After major revisions, it has been accepted with me as the sole author. Is it acceptable to publish with no institutional affiliation? I am conducting separate research projects with a group at my undergraduate institution, but my literature review was entirely independent.

It is possible. That’s how retired people publish. Hard to believe it would be taken seriously though.

I'd recommend listing your medical school as your affiliation since that is or will soon be your current affiliation.
