How important is research to our clinical careers? With the Z score likely on its way out, many of us are looking to differentiate ourselves from the pack on intern applications and beyond. But where to start? How do I know research is for me? Better yet, I've somehow managed to swindle a fancy professor into being my supervisor, but now what's expected of me?! What can I expect from them in return? Do I have to do research to make it as a doctor?

Fear not - this months episode is here to break it down for you. We have two world renown, dizzyingly accomplished and wonderfully candid clinician-scientists to answer all your research questions: Professor Ingrid Scheffer, AO and Professor Jacqueline French, MD.

This month, they answer all your burning questions about life as a clinician-scientist and the world of research:

👨🏾‍🔬Why should I do research as a medical student or junior doctor?

🧑🏻‍⚕️ Do I need research for my intern, residency, registrar applications? Does it matter if I do research in a speciality I don’t end up in?

👨🏻‍🎓 I want to get into research but I have no experience and don’t know where to start!

👩🏾‍🔬 How do I talk to my supervisor about authorship?

and we couldn't NOT ask...
