title: [Scientific education of the candidate specialist in training].
abstract: Scientific education is an essential component of the post-graduate training. Fluency in the language of sciences is necessary to understand scientific progress and to translate new scientific advances at the level of medical practice. To reach this goal, specific research skills and participation in research projects should be introduced in postgraduate training. Lack of dedicated time and interest are major barriers in implementing systematically research in the curricula. Some suggestions are made in order to improve research training in the postgraduate programs.
