A Very Happy New Year from all of us at QMed!
I am delighted to share about two very important workshops I had conducted in the end of 2024. In November I had done a one day workshop at the Indian Council for Medical Research - at their Headquarters in Delhi. The ICMR is India's premier research body and being invited to conduct a workshop for their Scientists was a feather in my cap! The audience were very participative and specially said that this was the first time that they had learnt how to search in so much detail
In December, it was ICMR once again! But this time it was about a workshop funded by the ICMR. This was at NIPER, Guwahati. The ICMR has recently funded institutions for conducting week long workshops for those interested in authoring systematic reviews.
NIPER Guwahati was the first such institution to ensure that Literature searching - which is the foundation of a systematic review, was allotted a full day. And I was privileged to conduct this workshop! The session had about 28 participants from institutions in the North Eastern Region. In addition around 22 NIPER students & researchers were also present.
An eye opening feedback was from a participant - Ahmad was - "It was excellent, I came to know about all this, after my 12 years of experience." !
I was wondering how to estimate the human hours he had lost in the 12 years, without this knowledge! We hope the ICMR will ensure that our workshops and ELearning can make inroads for all systematic review training and authoring, in India. The difference will be amazing!
