Manipal Academy of Higher Education to make QMed’s Online Courses available to their students & faculty

We are delighted to announce that the Manipal Academy of Higher Education has signed up with us to make our Online Courses available to their faculty and students in three of their institutions – Kasturba Medical College Manipal, Kasturba Medical College Mangalore and Sikkim Manipal University, Gangtok. One thousand faculty plus students across these campuses will be able to enrol for our courses. MAHE is the first group of Academic Institutions to subscribe to our courses. Our courses are hosted with Mediknit, a Bangalore based entity that has helped several medical associations to create ELearning courses.
We trust that this will encourage many more institutions to follow suit, to help their health professionals and students learn literature searching and reference management skills.

In July we were invited to conduct a special two day workshop at the ICMR RMRC, Bhubaneswar. The workshop was held on July 27 and 28. We had twenty five participants – a mix of Students of a Masters Degree in Public Health, PhD scholars, medical doctors and other research personnel.  
At the end some senior scientists declared that this workshop should be conducted in all the ICMR centres

In 2017, QMed was awarded three badges from GlobalGiving. This year – we got a fourth badge – for Effectiveness.

We welcome three new Trustees to QMed – Ms Anujaa Navaratnaa and Ms Usha Sunil – both librarians who have worked in the health sector in addition to other sectors, and Dr Sandeep Bavdekar, a Pediatrician and former editor of two journals. We look forward to strengthening QMed with the additional strength of these Trustees.
We did one workshop this month at the Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai

QMed does its first two workshops in AIIMS Bhubaneswar on April 26 and 27

AIIMS Bhubaneswar is the second AIIMS to have our workshops; the first being AIIMS Jodhpur. We have done workshops at the RP Centre for Ophthalmic Sciences and Institute Rotary Cancer Hospita, AIIMS Delhi; a few years ago
