The National Student Association of Medical Research has launched its inaugural National Research Course, striving to increase medical student engagement with academic medicine. The one-day event provides access to Keynote Lectures delivered by current leading physician-scientists, providing insights into the integration of research at the frontiers of their fields into clinical practice. Delegates will find opportunities to hone scholarly skills, including familiarity with successful publication in high-impact journals, learning the crux of robust project proposals, how to conduct systematic reviews and adherence to ethical principles and approvals.
This will be complemented by an afternoon of workshops designed to increase engagement with experienced facilitators invited from prominent organisations and charities, working to advocate undergraduate involvement in research. These sessions promise an accredited crash course in statistics, how to become involved in clinical trials as students and demystification of the AFP application process.
The course will be a valuable asset for portfolios whilst providing transferable skills to ensure sustained progress in academic medicine.
In affiliation with the NSAMR National Research Course 2020, the NSAMR aims to fund and support a grassroots research project, spearheaded by medical students or doctors-in-training.
