“Research Methodology 2020 – A Thorough Venture into Research World” is a program organised
by Asian Medical Students’ Association Universiti Putra Malaysia (AMSA UPM) in collaboration
with the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences UPM
Advance in research and development is one of the main factors for the medical field to advance
as well. Various efforts have been taken to involve medical professionals in Malaysia to take part
in research rather than only treating patients. When we compare ourselves to our neighbour,
Singapore, we get to realise that many Malaysian medical professionals show less interest in
research and development and find it as something burdening. Therefore, it is important to build
the interest on Research at Development at the early stage itself, which is while we are still medical
students.
