It is well written and well illustrated with good use of focused tables, checklists, boxes and 'top tip' take home messages. Its main strengths over and above all that is the fact that chapters can be read for specific purposes without the need to read the whole book...This is a very useful and well written book.

Media Reviews
Whilst students are often in want of a mentor, the basics of how to approach research opportunities and how to use them are often unclear. This book sets forth to answer the key questions those starting on an academic path may have, and is written in an easy-to-follow, accurate, and thorough way from start to end. It is, most of all, tremendously practical and useful, for example giving excellent tips and examples of how to approach supervisors, what to discuss in the initial meeting, and ways to find funding options. This book is very highly recommended to all medical students and doctors whether they are doing or supervising teaching, audits, or clinical research.--John Park, Editor-in-Chief, Res Medica, Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine
Author Bio
Ceen-Ming is a final year medical student at the University of Oxford. She graduated with an Honours BA (1st class), winning the Gibbs Prize in Medical Sciences and Wronker Prize in Pharmacology. She has presented her research internationally at Gordon Conferences, and published extensively in the fields of drug discovery and gastroenterology. Zeshan Qureshi is a Paediatrician based at Great Ormond Street and the Institute of Child Health. He graduated with distinction from the university of Southampton, and has published and presented research work extensively and internationally in the fields of pharmacology and medical education. Whilst working in Edinburgh he was part of the leadership team developing a near peer teaching programme, where by junior doctors, throughout south east scotland, were both trained to teach, and delivered teaching across every hospital in the area. This book is an extension of this philosophy: that junior doctors and fresh graduates know how to express complex ideas in order for it to be easily understood from a students perspective. That junior doctors can teach, and write in a complimentary way to senior doctors: one that is friendly and fun, easy to read and relevant to both exams, and the day to day to life of junior doctors.
