Original research is the gold standard in academia. Whether you’re aiming to advance in your academic career or establish yourself as an authority in your field, publishing original research is the key to unlocking those opportunities.
However, it’s crucial to focus your efforts on the right type of research. Hard work is essential, but strategic hard work is what propels you forward. That’s why this program zeroes in on original research studies—because they offer the most significant impact on your academic resume.
When I was interviewing for my rheumatology fellowship, my extensive work on systematic reviews didn’t hold nearly as much weight as my original research. The same was true during my academic job search after my post-doc training. Original research is what academic institutions value most.
You don’t need prior research experience or access to expensive resources to succeed in this program.
This program is designed to teach you how to conduct original research using existing databases like NHANES, which are completely FREE. By leveraging these databases, you can bypass the most time-consuming aspects of research, such as data collection and patient recruitment, allowing you to focus on the analysis and publication process.
What many people overlook is that research using existing databases is still original research. When done correctly, it can transform your research resume into something truly enviable.
And if you have access to other paid databases or your own data, this program is fully equipped to help you maximize those resources as well.
