INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC SUMMER SCHOOL INITIATIVE: SUPPORTING INTERNATIONAL NETWORKING AND COLLABORATION

The formal training in doing research is lacking in most of the medical training programs. Incorporation of the “doing research” subject into curricula varies considerably among countries, and also among universities within countries. The very beginning of the postgraduate clinical career is in “internship” or “residency” training; characterized+- by gaining practical knowledge, following clinical guidelines and compliance with the “the best clinical practice” that is a healthcare quality indicator. It was shown that students’ involvement in research during medical school is associated with not only postgraduate research involvement, but more effective medicine practice based on evidence-based medicine.
However, the need for training “how to do research” is frequently either not sufficiently recognized, or there is no adequate/ sufficient space in overloaded under- or postgraduate medical curricula.
It was also an experience in the editorial office of the journals. During the peer-review process, many rejected papers had creative ideas and potentially interesting/ applicable results; however their design did not achieve the requirements for proper academic writing. Recognizing this problem, the Journal of Electrocardiology commenced an initiative of the International Scientific Summer Schools and implemented the interactive method of research training .
We describe in this paper the interactive method on how to prepare project and how to do research and share our experience with implementation of scientific summer school.
