It is important for primary health care (PHC) teaching institutions and hospitals to create an atmosphere fostering clinical investigation for all health care practitioners (HCP).1 This involves not just clinical trials, but observations, examinations, and investigations are a critical part of the education of any health science students.2 This is the basis of science. Without knowing how to apply a scientific thought process and methodology to a clinical situation, it will prevent one from reaching their optimum abilities. Easy-to-conduct, practical single subject studies also known as N-1 clinical trials, can help lead to modifying a patient’s therapy,new practice patterns, therapeutic improvements, and increasing students skills.3 These single subject studies (N-1) are multiple cross-over trials involving the same single patient. Implementing clinical investigations into HCPs work routine, can make them more passionate about their work, prevent burnout, and lead to new products and services.
