10. Why Research? In Medical Students’ Own Words  “Although research may not be for everyone, the ability to locate and interpret journal articles is a key skill gained from performing research that will be useful as a practicing physician and will ultimately be a great benefit to their patients.  “I believe that involvement in scientific research during medical school equips me with both the intense skeptical inquiry of a research scientist and the clinical experience necessary to focus my research efforts toward enhancing patient care.”  “With the time that I devote to the research lab, I imagine that my time is devoted to a thousand unnamed patients. These are patients that I will never know and who will never know me, but their foothold rests in my efforts to take on an unanswered question, or a treatment that hasn’t been tried.”
