⏳ The Mentorship Gap
Top researchers are too busy to teach. Those with time often lack the high-impact experience you need to learn from.
The Research Accelerator
Stop Searching for Research. Start Publishing It.
For competitive specialties, a strong research portfolio is non-negotiable. This 12-month guided program transforms you from a student into a productive, independent researcher with the publications to prove it.
Why Meaningful Research Feels Impossible
You know you need publications, but every path seems blocked. Sound familiar?
🚫 The 'Free Labor' Trap
Unpaid positions often come with zero guidance, using you for basic tasks with no clear path to a meaningful publication.
🧩 Scattered Efforts
Without a clear strategy, your efforts feel disconnected. You start projects but struggle to finish, leaving you with nothing to show for your time.
❓ A Lack of Skills
Medical school doesn't teach study design, scientific writing, or how to navigate the publication process. You're left to figure it out alone.
The Solution: A 12-Month Guided Pathway to Publication
This isn't a course. It's a hands-on, one-year mentorship designed to build your skills, your confidence, and your CV. Our goal is to make you an independent researcher who earns interview invitations.
1. Case Reports
Master the art of the simplest, fastest publication. Learn to identify interesting cases and turn them into valuable CV lines that demonstrate your clinical curiosity.
2. Narrative Reviews
Develop deep expertise in a niche topic. We'll guide you through synthesizing existing literature to create a comprehensive review that establishes you as a knowledgeable applicant.
3. Retrospective Studies
Learn the fundamentals of study design and data analysis. You'll work on a project using existing data—a core skill highly valued by academic programs.
4. Prospective Studies
Participate in a study from the ground up. Your mentor will help design the project, and you'll learn about the IRB process, data collection, and analysis in real-time.
Program Outcomes: Your Research Toolkit
You won't just leave with publications; you'll leave with the skills to generate them for the rest of your career.
🎓 Expert Mentorship
Receive direct, weekly guidance from a resident physician at a top US institution. This isn't theoretical—it's practical advice from someone who has successfully navigated the path you're on.
📄 A Powerful Publication Portfolio
The program is structured to produce a minimum of **four publications**: a case report, a narrative review, a retrospective study, and a prospective study, giving your CV significant and undeniable weight.
🧠 Scientific Thinking & Writing
Move beyond just "doing" research to understanding it. Learn how to formulate a research question, design a valid study, and communicate your findings with clarity and impact.
