Comparison of Research Knowledge in Postgraduate Trainees of Clinical and Basic Health Sciences of a Tertiary Healthcare Setup: A Qualitative and Quantitative Assessment

Both groups had basic knowledge of research and statistical analysis; however, postgraduates from BHS performed better than postgraduates of clinical health science. Postgraduates of clinical health sciences have mentioned that, due to workload and different duty timings, they are unable to participate in research actively. The qualitative assessment highlighted that the students of both sides have been given proper training regarding the research process. Practices of BHS in topic selection and conducting research process seemed to be convincing; however, respondents of clinical science seemed to be unhappy with the practices they followed in their departments.
