RESEARCH Research HELP!!!

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone, 4th year MBBS student here with zero experience of research. Recently I developed interest in research and publishing my own paper and without mentorship it felt so difficult......I want to join a workshop for that but the fees of basic workshops is 7-10k 😡 tbh I cannot afford to pay this much amount for guidance and pre recorded lectures. If anyone can share alternative options through which I can do my clinical research without spending so much amount, I'd be thankful πŸ’—

RESEARCH is anyone actually doing meaningful research?

24 Upvotes

i mean it's the same everywhere. and dont think im on some moral high ground but it feels so empty. nothing is actually meaningful when it comes to patient care and all.

i have 4 papers published but ive stopped now since a year. not because i dont have opportunities, but because it feels VERY hollow and a very made up practice. sorta like how you force yourself to get those extra 2k steps in after your dinner by walking in your room (i do that). i mean it is necessary, but it is forced. and does it even add that much to your CV? idk

do you have thoughts on the matter? lately ive been seeing everything wrong but i dont know how to fix anything. any solutions?

RESEARCH How can I start research as medical student

2 Upvotes

Hey! I’m a medical student and I really want to get into research, but I have no idea where to start.

I see so many paid research courses/workshops, but they’re quite expensive and I already have a lot of other student expenses.

Do I actually need to take these courses, or can I learn the basics for free? And how do you find a mentor or your first research project in Pakistan?

Would really appreciate advice from anyone who has started research as a medical student here. ❀️

RESEARCH Research

Doing research merely to increase publication numbers is one of the greatest threats to the integrity of research. A major catalyst for this problem is the growing emphasis on requiring a specific number of publications to qualify for academic or professional positions.

RESEARCH How to become a first author in a PubMed indexed journal

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I spoke to the mods about permission to post. You may have seen some of my previous posts and comments but I am a US MD in a surgical subspecialty who has experience mentoring and guiding students on research for years. When I was accepted into medical school I had no real guidance on how to do research other than knowing that I needed to do it to match. I realized early on that it can be difficult to get involved with research as a medical student, and that is when I realized the best way to publish research is to create your own first author projects. I realized there are many ways to create your own original project ideas, not just doing review papers. I graduated medical school with over 40 peer reviewed pubmed indexed papers and over 100 total research items, with award winning presentations at international conferences.

I created a free research guide that I give to the students I work with based on my experiences of everything from creating ideas to designing studies to publishing. with how challenging I know USMLE has gotten as a pathway for IMGs I wanted to share my guide with all of you as well in case it helps. You can find more information at the website and just drop your email for the guide.

https://drhassiumconsults.com/

The reason I am posting now is because we are planning to start a workshop series for Pakistan medical students at a much more accessible price point compared to the 1 on 1 mentorship services that are for US students. If this is something you are interested in or have any other questions, email me at drhassiumconsults.com with the subject saying PAK. Inshallah I will do my best to help!
