Impact of undergraduate research experience on postgraduate research and practice


Dear participants,

The researchers are convinced of the benefits of authentic research experiences by undergraduates in the sciences. They believe that students gain specific skills, such as research design, hypothesis formation, data collection, data analysis, computing, and information literacy. Students note personal gains, including greater independence of work and thought, tolerance for obstacles, readiness for new challenges, growing self-confidence, and a sense of accomplishment.

However the viability of these skills are under debate. So far we are not sure that those who have developed these skills have applied them later in their career or whether it will be helpful to do research.

This retrospective study is an attempt to find out if those medical researchers who continued research and who have had published original articles in peer reviewed journals after passing their graduate examination, have also had experience of research during their study at medical school and was there any impact from engaging in research in undergraduate education.

Therefore, it is requested that you spare a few minutes to fill in a small-attached form and email to us as soon as possible.

Your contribution in this regard is highly appreciated.

Dr. Abdul Sattar Khan (Turkey)
Prof. Riaz Qureshi (Saudi Arabia)
Prof. Mohsen Rezaeian (Iran)
