Although medical students are aware of the dramatic break-throughs made in the research laboratory by a few physicians, they are often unaware of the other benefits that all may derive from research experience. Performing research helps one to become a better physician by training the mind to think critically and creatively. Just as the researcher draws conclusions from experimental data, the practicing physician must
