title: Some reflections on clinical research.
abstract: The place of clinical research in the veterinary profession is discussed against the author's personal experiences and in the context of how research workers, clinicians, teachers and veterinary students might be brought into a more cohesive unit through the development of a Faculty of clinical research and experimental medicine. It is argued that students should receive training in research and teaching and that  efforts should be made to break down the attitude of "them" and "us" which tends to separate the clinicians and academics.
