PhD in the field of medicine is more common than in any other domain. Many medical doctors are driven towards PhD, but also students with other backgrounds (usually MSc) are conducting a PhD in medical schools. Higher education has invested a lot in developing generic and research competences. Still little is known about how PhD students themselves perceive the competence of future PhDs'. The aim of this study is to determine how medical PhD students perceive their future competences and whether there is a difference between MD PhD and MSc PhD students' perceptions. Moreover this study examines students' perceptions of their learning environment and their experienced well-being.The data were collected from 163 medical PhD students. The survey data consisted of Likert type statements, open-ended questions and background variables. PhD students' perceptions of acquired competences were content analysed. The connection between conducted degree and emphasised competences were analysed using cross tabulation and χ² -test Perceptions of well-being and the learning environment were examined using descriptive statistics of scales.The results showed that PhD students considered a wide variety of competences to be central to future PhDs'. Their perception of their future competences consisted of scientific and generic competences. All students emphasised scientific competences over generic competences but MSc PhD students emphasised generic skills more than MD PhD students. PhD students' perceptions of their well-being and the learning environment showed that PhD studies are a burdening and stressful process. However students also felt that they received feedback from the scientific community.

“…8 Early introduction to scientific research and engagement in research work is known to enhance knowledge on research and develop practical skills. This is not only limited to protocol submission, manuscript writing skills, and methodological and data analysis skills, 9 but also some soft skills like leadership and management skills. These enable the development for critical appraising, troubleshooting, idea generation, etc., among the researchers.…”

BackgroundBangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) is a postgraduate medical university in Bangladesh, where health research is an institutional mission. To improve the institutional research culture that contributes to better research capabilities, an assessment of BSMMU's research output, challenges faced while conducting research, feasible actions to overcome them, and indicators for evaluating the research capacity were identified. MethodsPublished manuscripts from BSMMU for the year 2018, registered with PubMed and BanglaJOL, were reviewed to assess the status of research output. Key informant interviews and in-depth interviews were conducted with various members of the academic departments, central library, institutional review board and University journals, to identify research-related challenges, strategies to overcome, and indicators to evaluate the research capacity.

“…At the same time, the requirements to the professional competence of HEI graduates, the standards of their preparation and the necessity of training scientific manpower for different branches were the determining factors in the development of this model. In this study, the following skill groups of research competence are used [5], [4]: methodology skills, information seeking skills, problem solving skills, quantitative analysis skills, communication skills. Project, research, individual and group methods are used for their development with the use of scientific e-conferences.…”

The article discusses the methodology of using a scientific electronic conference for the development of research competence of university students. A model of the use of a scientific electronic conference for the development of students' research competence was developed. It includes the following components: purpose, procedural, content-technological, diagnostic. It is proposed to use a process approach for the development of research competence through electronic scientific conferences. The purpose, activities, means, forms, methods and research skills that will be formed as a result of each process were determined. The system of indicators was developed to determine the level of research competence for such constituents as: methodology, information search, problem solving, quantitative analysis and communication. The types of activities occurring at each stage of the process are determined, in particular, the means and electronic content used for their implementation, the forms and methods of efficient use of electronic means, competences that are formed during the implementation of the model. Stages of students’ preparation for and participation in an electronic conference in cooperation with lecturers and experts (reviewers) that will form not only the research competence of students, but also their digital competence (digital literacy) are presented. The efficiency of using scientific electronic conferences as an instrument for the development of students' research competence has been proved. In particular, the results of the student survey on the development of constituents of research competence are presented. The students of the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine and Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University who have an intermediate and high level of research competence have noted the positive impact of lead-up and participation in scientific e-conferences on the development of students’ research competence.
