Research as Part of Daily Clinical Life: Challenging But Possible

The surgeon-scientists or academic Surgeon-Scientists (SS) are practising clinicians who are engaged in scientific research. SS are uniquely positioned to facilitate exchange between research and practice, and as such they are play instrumental role in developing medical practice [1]. The involvement of Surgeon-Scientists (SS) will lead to increasing clinical relevance of research questions, gaining access to clinical settings for research, bringing clinical expertise and insider perspectives to the research, having researchers who are trusted by participants, which may encourage their participation, and having researchers who are motivated to disseminate applicable findings and continue their commitment to the researched. This combination can result in good patient compliance and strengthen patient–clinician interactions [1-3].
