Perceptions of medical undergraduate students toward biomedical research - A sequential, explanatory, mixed-method study from Puducherry, South India.

Background: Biomedical research is not given adequate attention during undergraduation due to the failure of the medical curriculum to motivate the students to take up research, teach the research methodology, and emphasize the scope of research in the future. Our objective was to study the perceptions of medical undergraduate students toward biomedical research and to explore the facilitators and barriers to biomedical research.

Materials And Methods: This was an explanatory, sequential, mixed-method study.
