Vasumathi Sriganesh mentors around 25 participants of MECOR
MECOR is an annual event conducted by a section of the American Thoracic Society, to strengthen research skills in India. Vasumathi Sriganesh has participated in this for years; this was the seventh year. This year, participants were made to view her recorded lectures before the event, work on search strategies for their topics and get mentored to improve them. The experiment was pretty successful! Her contributions to this program are well appreciated by the faculty from the American Thoracic Society

Nandini Dasgupta attends a Gyan+ Session
Our intern Nandini represented QMed at the Gyan+ event – “Organisation management and leadership development program on September 24-28,2018” hosted by IVolunteer in association with Singapore International Foundation. It was a lively, uplifting event, with a lot of learning. A number of NGOs came together to discuss the theory of change, what makes leaders different from managers, how to identify personalities in a work place, and the communication and marketing strategies we could use to better ourselves and reach out to more people. Towards the end, the participants made presentations of their version of a theory of change implementation. We internalized the model and are hoping to implement it for a number of our initiatives.
