A Faculty of Medicine requires that its academics devote an important part of their duties to scientific research. It does not seem possible to perform university teaching without a personal experience in the methods, techniques and practices of scientific research. Notwithstanding, keeping in mind the fundamental importance of medical practice in the training of professors of a Faculty of Medicine, it is possible to consider a clinical teaching staff, to whom scientific research would not be demanded. This staff would coexist with an academic research staff and would have a limited dedication to clinical research. The object of clinical scientific research is mankind and its purpose relates directly to the medical act. As a consequences the responsible should be a physician. This fact implies that the Faculty of Medicine has the responsibility to create an appropriate environment and system to promote training and research in the clinical area as well as in preclinical and basic areas. A doctorate program in medical sciences in proposed as the most suitable method for the development of clinical scientific research and for the training of young researchers in this area of medical knowledge.
医学院要求其学者将职责的重要部分投入到科学研究中。如果没有科学研究方法、技术和实践的个人经验，似乎就无法进行大学教学。尽管如此，考虑到医学实践在医学院教授培训中的根本重要性，可以考虑设立一个临床教师队伍，对其不要求进行科学研究。这支队伍将与学术研究人员共存，并且对临床研究的投入有限。临床科学研究的对象是人类，其目的直接与医疗行为相关。因此，负责人应该是一名医生。这一事实意味着医学院有责任创造一个适当的环境和体系，以促进临床领域以及临床前和基础领域的培训和研究。提议设立医学科学博士项目，作为开展临床科学研究和培养该医学知识领域年轻研究人员的最合适方法。
