Abstract

Before you start doing clinical research, you must have a question that you want to solve. The question should be of great interest to you and you must have a strong passion to solve it.

Equally important as finding the right question is to be very critical of your own idea. You must consider all the various aspects that can possibly prevent you from completing the study, for example, not having enough time, not having enough patients, etc. If you are unsuccessful in finding any reason why you should not attempt to do the study, then you must pursue it steadfastly.
