Article Synopsis
- Developing scientific skills in medical students is essential for improving healthcare systems, and this study examined the attitudes of Portuguese-speaking students toward research and clinical practice.
- A survey of 455 first-year medical students from Portugal, Brazil, and Angola showed that Portuguese students valued scientific abilities the most, while Angolan students were highly motivated to engage in research despite lower confidence.
- Results indicated that attitudes toward science varied by country, influenced by factors like GDP, secondary school experience, age, and research participation, highlighting the need to encourage positive research attitudes in future doctors.
