In recent decades, evidence-based medicine has gained traction, leading healthcare professionals to recognize its benefits for patient outcomes. This approach necessitates that practitioners at all levels can effectively gather and analyze scientific evidence, whether through local departmental audits or large-scale randomized controlled trials. However, despite the emphasis on research and teaching in medical education, students and junior doctors often lack opportunities to engage in real-world studies or critically assess transformative research. Teaching experiences are similarly limited, often relying on informal peer-to-peer sessions without adequate guidance or training, despite their importance for future careers. Such experiences are crucial for postgraduate employment, as candidates who demonstrate research awareness and teaching proficiency are highly valued. Unfortunately, many students, especially those who do not take time off for research or advanced degrees, miss out on these academic activities during their training. Consequently, numerous aspiring researchers feel unprepared to begin their journeys, often lacking mentors or supportive colleagues with the necessary time and expertise to assist them. This gap underscores the need for improved integration of research and teaching in medical education to better equip future healthcare professionals.
