Meaning and types of research

Research in medical and health sciences is a systematic inquiry aimed at generating reliable knowledge to solve health problems. Mastering the meaning of research and its main types—basic, applied, clinical, and public health—helps students design studies, choose appropriate methods, and critically appraise findings, all of which are central to the NUC CCMAS, NBTE, and NCCE exams.
