title: [Research training is inadequate among future medical doctors].
abstract: This questionnaire survey investigated interest and activity in pregraduate research among 643 medical students at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen. We find, that although the students show great interest and motivation for research, very few have actual research experience. The students described suboptimal research training, lack of tutoring and facilitation as well as of career counselling. Also, conditions for pregraduate research activities are unequal among the faculties of health sciences in Denmark.
