Should research and publication be included in the undergraduate medical curriculum?

Abstract

Scientific papers are the key to advancements that humans have leaped through in different fields of science. Members of the scientific community use research to explore, discover and accumulate knowledge/skills to contribute to society which makes humans stand out among all the existing species on the planet.
