Helping medical students become better doctors

In our report for June 2018 we had mentioned about the launch of our first ELearning course. This was on "Mastering PubMed". The course was launched in mid May and between then and now, we have around 30 plus individuals who have registered. More importantly, a very large association - The Association of Minimal Access Surgeons of India (known as AMASI) has subscribed to our course for all its members - totalling more than 10000 in number! This was a big success story for us! 

In all our years of promoting our workshops and teaching, we were constantly told that surgeons would not have time for such learning and are not our likely audience. So it was a really happy moment for us when the first Association that signed up for our course was one of surgeons. 

We have also approached medical schools, residency programs, research institutions and hospitals asking them to take up our course for their students, residents and health professionals. Quite a few have indicated interest, and we are hoping to see more signups. 

The good part is that if many large institutions sign up for our ELearning courses, QMed Knowledge Foundation will move towards self sustenance and then we hope that we can raise funds for more specific projects. It is important for non-profits like ours to reach that stage. In the last five years every donor's contribution has helped us build our strength to where we are today and where we hope to reach. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! 

What we would like from every donor is to join the group of recurring donors that we have. Could you plan out what you would like to give QMed per month and sign up to be a recurring donor? We hope that in a year to eighteen months we could write to you and then ask for your recurring donations to again be converted to donations for specific purposes. Hoping to see many more recurring donors - whether you choose to give $10 per month of anything up to $500 

Happy Diwali from India!
