Getting involved in Medical and Biomedical research through necessity or personal choice can be a testing experience. Each step of the research process brings its own challenges, from liaising with supervisors to the lack of opportunities to promote completed research. This 'How to' manual provides a guide to the complete research process: from the initial approach, to execution, write-up, and preparation for the viva examination. It ensures you get the most out of the experience, both from the perspective of personal development and academic achievement, and even provides guidance on what to do when things don't go to plan. An ideal companion, written by an experienced postgraduate tutor, this manual will give you the edge: dealing with the more elusive realities of taking on research in a concise and logical way; and helping you maximize your impact on the medical research field.
