About ResMen
ResMen Association is the official sponsor of the Peer Research Mentorship Program (PRMP) being conducted in partnership with the International Society for Chronic Illnesses. PRMP was started with the goal of providing mentorship to new researchers who aren't able to find a guide. The mentors will see through the entire research from the formation of research question to publication in a journal of good standing. Projects ranging from meta-analyses and systematic reviews to observational studies and short communications are conducted in the program.
Why PRMP?
Most undergraduate and graduate students, especially in developing regions with a high patient footfall, are not exposed to research processes and guidelines due to resources being redirected for other necessities. Due to lack of knowledge and unavailability of proper guidance, these students often resort to learning from the internet through a lot of trial and error. Only with proper guidance and availability of research infrastructure can medical students learn to conduct authentic and reliable research studies. Through this program, we hope to provide adequate guidance directly or indirectly to every student who wishes to perform medical research. PRMP tries to achieve this via peer-to-peer mentorship and time-bound projects where mentees will learn from their colleagues through informal conversations and regular doubt-solving sessions.
