From our CEO
|
|
|
|
|
March has been a busy month with two workshops and three lectures. We finished the last two workshops with the first ever grant money we received from Pfizer in 2023. These two were at the Tata Memorial Hospital and the Seth GSMC & KEM Hospital. A slightly disappointing part was that at both venues, while about 35 registered, we had far less that actually attended. In medical institutions sometimes other emergencies make this happen and it was sad that it happened in both these institutions.
|
Of course those who came, made it up with 100% enthusiastic participation and encouraged others who missed, to learn from our ELearning courses.
|
We also had two lectures at the YMT Ayurvedic college and one webinar for the ML Dhawale Memorial Homeopathic College. I must confess that I miss the interactions that happen in live events, when I speak over a webinar session. But for institutions, it is sometimes more effective to plan for webinars rather than live events.

We are at the end of another Financial year of not having made ends meet. But we strive on! And keep hoping that People WILL support us financially to take things ahead. Importantly the bodies like the NMC, the DCI and more will make our courses mandatory. Then with every institution subscribing, we will have the finances to put in much more than we are able to now and make a huge change in the country!

Testimonials for QMedCourses
Course: Information Resources and Literature Searching

I learnt a lot about literature search and different types of medical content databases in simple videos. I liked the video-based delivery of the lessons and the available MCQs to reinforce my understanding of the concepts taught. Akhil Mittra, MSc Cybersecurity
