Abstract

The practice of medicine has started since the existence of humankind on the earth. But the commencement of scientific and evidence-based medicine cannot be traced back so far. The insight we are getting from the current medical science is the output of the laborious effort and contributions made by people before us. The statement stating ‘we learn from our past’ is in perfect resonant with the practice of clinical medicine. Those past experiences or findings which are scientifically cataloged are crucial in the advancement of modern medicine. The countless researches conducted in various aspects of medical science prove to be strong evidence of our past achievements. Many people's contribution to such research activities in the medical field has taken us this far in modern medicine. In the pool of such people, medical students who are in the early phase of pursuing their career in medicine have also contributed a lot to medical research time and again.
