A review of literature on medical students and scholarly research: experiences, attitudes, and outcomes.

Youjin Chang, Christopher Ramnanan (2015)

The aim of medical student research programs is to develop interest in and competencies related to scholarly research within future physicians. Although schools invest in these programs, there is currently no consensus regarding what benefits they confer. The goal of this review is to characterize students' perceptions of research programs during medical school as well as the outcomes attributed to these programs to provide recommendations for their optimization.
