Medical research is a highly competitive yet vital part of medical training, spanning all specialties. Extra-curricular, research-related activities are a key method by which students develop interest in their field of choice, and a competitive edge in medical students. The lack of research education and opportunities within medical school teaching tends to force medical students to look beyond their degree to obtain this experience, and is often the reason why students have little research involvement whilst in medical school. Self-reflecting on one's personality and suitability for different types of research is vital, as well as understanding the nature of research and preparing appropriately before undertaking projects. This paper presents twelve tips for medical students who are interested in pursuing research, offering targeted strategies to get involved.
医学研究是医学培训中高度竞争但至关重要的一部分，涵盖所有专业。课外与研究相关的活动是学生对所选领域产生兴趣的关键方法，也是医学生的竞争优势。医学院教学中缺乏研究教育和机会，往往迫使医学生在获得学位后寻求这种经验，这也是为什么学生在医学院期间很少参与研究的原因。自我反思自己的个性和对不同类型研究的适应性至关重要，同时还需要了解研究的性质，并在进行项目之前做好充分准备。本文为有兴趣从事研究的医学生提供了 12 条建议，提供了参与研究的针对性策略。
