Abstract:
Research is very competitive but vital in medical training at all levels and disciplines. Given the evidence-based practice, people are reinforced to adopt a constant change attitude and critically appraise all the literature to make the best medical decisions. Nonetheless, the motivation to generate new knowledge and scientific research is relegated to small groups due to multiple factors. Such as the lack of research education from early stages in medical training, the absence of early results, and the lack of mentors willing to sponsor a person who wants to begin this way. This mini review would like to highlight the importance of pursuing a medical research career; therefore, we recommend beginning in the long run.
