"I was delighted to have trained Dr. Karmacharya, who proved to be one of my most prolific researchers in my 25 years of Medical Education. Together we worked on 16 abstracts and 23 peer reviewed publications, received 2 research awards and 1 grant.
So when I had a new group of residents interested in Rheumatology, I reached out directly to Dr. Karmacharya for both his professional input as well as his guidance in research. He was able to guide three novice Internal Medicine residents extremely skillfully through the process of performing a systematic review, assembling a team, understanding the literature and the importance of their work, and most importantly, organizing a cogent manuscript.
I am convinced the highly effective product that they produced was a direct result of his careful intervention and guidance, and I believe each of the participants is probably ready to participate on a project on their own, with 1 possibly capable of leading after just this one protracted teaching exposure to Dr. Karmacharya.
As of this writing, all three have attained highly competitive fellowships and their work published earlier this year already has 10 citations. I believe their understanding about how to organize a paper, create an introduction and we have in a discussion building on what is known are lessons they will take with them the rest of their lives.
Dr. Karmacharya is truly an outstanding researcher but possibly an even more gifted teacher in this area."
