The effect of research training on research skills, academic performance, and stress level among medical undergraduates in China: a cross-sectional survey
The participation of medical undergraduates in research training improves their research skills without adversely affecting their academic performance. A longer weekly training duration and better mentorship quality can further enhance the research skills of undergraduates, but their mental health, including their stress level, should be carefully monitored.
