Abstract
Introduction
Bio-Medical research is a systemic collection, analysis and interpretation of data with its critical appraisal, used by physicians for establishing the scientific basis for treatment of patients and imparting evidence-based clinical care1,2. It is a pivotal tool in amelioration of medical science. Expedition in surveillance and management of diseases chiefly depends on the essence of bio-medical research. The irresistible need for evidence-based medicine has besieged the understanding of bio-medical research.3A wide gap exists between the cognizance for need of health research and its implementation.4 Every medical practitioner should put forth new evidences by conducting a research which ensures continued professional academic work and also enhances communication between physicians. For research skills, a researcher must have adequate knowledge and a practical understanding of research methodology.5
