This is the sixth book in The Unofficial Guides to Medicine series. These textbooks are now a globally recognized for combining expert input, with student and junior doctor contributions to produce valuable guides relevant to today's juniors. The Unofficial Guide to Medical Research, Audit and Teaching will teach you the skills expected of students and today's graduates beyond just clinical medicine. It contains convenient checklists for critical appraisal which may be used as a day-to-day reference by professionals, as well as suggestions for audits, and tips for teaching effectively. This book covers all the non-clinical competencies that will make you an excellent doctor, and highly competitive on the job market.
Whilst students are often in want of a mentor, the basics of how to approach research opportunities and how to use them are often unclear. This book sets forth to answer the key questions those starting on an academic path may have, and is written in an easy-to-follow, accurate, and thorough way from start to end. It is, most of all, tremendously practical and useful, for example giving excellent tips and examples of how to approach supervisors, what to discuss in the initial meeting, and ways to find funding options. This book is very highly recommended to all medical students and doctors whether they are doing or supervising teaching, audits, or clinical research.--John Park, Editor-in-Chief, Res Medica, Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine
