Egypts Premier Medical Student Research Group: A New Model for Medical Student Research in Developing Countries

摘要

The involvement of medical students in scientific research has been widely advocated over the last decades in order to fulfill the need for a new generation of physicians who can apply evidence-based medicine. Efforts to involve medical students in scientific research have been described by individual institutions. In developing countries, students are less involved in research owing to the limited time and resources. Hereby, we describe our three-year experience with a novel model for medical student research in Egypt.
