This book aims to provide a systematic guide for doctors in training on how to enhance their medical academic portfolio. The authors of this book have extensive experience in leading and designing research, evidence synthesis and quality improvement projects that have resulted in several publications in international peer-reviewed journals as well as numerous presentations at national and international conferences and forums. It is worth noting that this book is not aimed at describing how to write an academic paper or how to secure a training post. It is predominantly aimed at giving the medical graduates and doctors in training the chance to enhance their academic portfolio and deal with the challenges and requirements of career progression in a simple, systematic and clear way using well recognised methodological approaches.It will also highlight some challenges that have recently been encountered by doctors in training, including the COVID 19 pandemic and the effect of such challenges on achieving the academic objectives that doctors in training are aspiring to. It will also address measures that can help tackling such challenges.
