Feedback from our Graduates

“Exposure to REDCAP as a databasing platforms in the course for a beginner like me helped me to know about, and be confident about, my projects that I am currently doing at another institution in the United States that also used RedCaps. I am not starting from 0 anymore and that helped me become more effective at my program”

“Receiving exposure on how to build our research profiles with various world-wide recognized platforms, applying for grants and advice on successfully completing our projects throughout the 7-weeks was something that has allowed me to better my exposure as research since completing the program”

Dr. Abdul Rub Hakim

“ I would highly recommend anyone having difficulty in receiving guidance on what the correct methodology should be for their study, to take advantage of the personal mentorship and curriculum they have at this workshop. They will be taken to the next level and exposed to practical solutions to help develop even stronger studies”

“The mentorship program is excellent. Both Dr. Kumar and Dr. Otto Muzik made it easy for me to develop a project proposal by understanding my clinical scenarios and guided me towards a research question and helped me build out my proposal by outlining a scaffold that I know use at my program too”

Dr. Abdul Rub Hakim

“I have developed relationships that I know I can lean on even after finishing the course and has left me with even more confidence to pursue impactful opportunities as I continue my work towards being a global health researcher”
