Research as Part of Daily Clinical Life: Challenging But Possible
Journal Title: Journal of Surgery Research and Practice - Year 2021, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The surgeon-scientists or academic Surgeon-Scientists (SS) are practising clinicians who are engaged in scientific research. SS are uniquely positioned to facilitate exchange between research and practice, and as such they are play instrumental role in developing medical practice [1]. The involvement of Surgeon-Scientists (SS) will lead to increasing clinical relevance of research questions, gaining access to clinical settings for research, bringing clinical expertise and insider perspectives to the research, having researchers who are trusted by participants, which may encourage their participation, and having researchers who are motivated to disseminate applicable findings and continue their commitment to the researched. This combination can result in good patient compliance and strengthen patient–clinician interactions [1-3]. The clinical physician’s workforce increased nearly twofold, but the number of physicians choosing research-oriented careers remained steady [3,4]. This means that even if scientists conduct more studies, fewer translators would be available to facilitate the exchange of information between the bench and bedside [3,4]. The clinician-scientist has become a rare and distinct entity, or an “endangered species” threatening to disrupt the cross talk between the lab and clinic [1,3].
