AbstractEducation of medical students requires teaching students how to navigate in the broad field of medical research. The objective of this article is to provide an overview about medical research and to show how to denote a medical study in a concise fashion. Medical research can be classified into categories according to the object of investigation. Examples for medical research categories are therapeutic, diagnostic and prognostic studies, epidemiological studies, animal and in vitro studies etc. Each research category uses a specific set of study types with names such as cross-sectional study, case-control study etc. The article describes the principles of the study types. Together, research category and study type briefly describe the design of a medical study.© Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York.
