Currently medical information flows at great speed, bombarding medical students. Students are unfamiliar with fundamental aspects of biomedical literature appraisal. We assert that research performed during medical school will help to reduce the gap between the information available and comprehension by the student. The goal of the present review is to expound the importance of performing research during the undergraduate medical years and the relevance of research in other fields of medicine. We performed a literature review searching MEDLINE with terms consistent with our objective. We discuss the conduct of research projects during medical school training. The analysis of the articles retrieved proves that research is feasible and that it is a critical process during the undergraduate period for medical students.
目前，医学信息传播速度极快，冲击着医学生。学生们对生物医学文献评估的基本方面并不熟悉。我们认为，在医学院期间开展研究将有助于缩小学生可获取的信息与理解能力之间的差距。本综述的目的是阐述在本科医学阶段开展研究的重要性以及研究在医学其他领域的相关性。我们使用与我们目标一致的术语在MEDLINE上进行了文献检索。我们讨论了医学院培训期间研究项目的开展情况。对检索到的文章进行分析表明，研究是可行的，并且对医学生来说是本科阶段的一个关键过程。
