Abstract
Medical students provide an unmistakable contribution to clinical research, owing to a diverse skill set, spanning from data collection to analysis and academic writing. Being involved in clinical urology also helps students to clarify career paths and boost competitiveness for residency matches. However, medical students’ involvement encounters challenges, including time constraints and a need for honed research skills. Addressing these hurdles necessitates effective mentorship.
