Medical education and the work of a physician are based on scientific knowledge. Physicians’ opportunities to carry out scientific research must therefore be improved. The critical assessment of scientific research and the application of scientific knowledge are also an integral part of the education and professional skills of every physician.
Scientific research conducted by physicians is also useful for the physicians’ employers. The ultimate beneficiaries are the patients.
