This book is presented to aspiring college students who are hoping for future clinical doctors, physician scientists or scientists in medicine at US. It is commonly applicable to both premedical and equally non-premedical students who are also interested in pursuing their careers in this field. Its focus is to provide the students with practical guides on how to plan early and effectively engage in research activity. In a longer term, following these guides will help students well prepared and ready around the time of their applications to medical schools.

This book is addressing a crucial role played by research experience in the process of medical school admission. Research is serving as one of important criteria considered in admissions decision. Unlike academic competency and test scores which are formally required, research experience is not explicitly stated as an application requirement at most medical schools. However, medical schools are considering it as a very desirable quality they would like to see from their applicants. Therefore, having a successful research experience is greatly helping not only high achievers, but also borderline students as it is demonstrating their high degree of motivation, readiness, and capability for medical professions. Please also note that research experience is regarded almost as an informal requirement in research-oriented medical schools and certain programs developed to train physician scientists.
