Interested to hear what you mean when you say "turn clinical researchers into real scientists." Are you thinking of expanding the MSTP? Or just better statistic

Interested to hear what you mean when you say "turn clinical researchers into real scientists." Are you thinking of expanding the MSTP? Or just better statistical literacy for physicians? Or something else entirely?
- rscho 2y agoI don't know of any magic formula. We'd have to force the change somehow, because it won't correct itself. But the path is unclear, if there is a path at all. The current situation is that most clinical research is performed by MDs/MD-PhDs with no scientific background else than what is taught in medical/doctoral school, i.e. they lack the basics, and are usually more interested about advancing their careers rather than science. That said, systems shape people, and not the other way around.
