The Research Forum will assemble on a regular basis to promote and
encourage a research culture within HMC and Qatar. It will provide a
platform where health professionals, residents, fellow and medical
students in HMC can come together to exchange research ideas and be
enabled to carry out quality research.
The Research Forum is
envisioned to be a platform where anyone interested in research within
HMC, can gather, discuss, collaborate, support, share and learn
research. It will continuously evolve and with the passage of time
provide the platform that enables, connects, supports and promotes
biomedical research within HMC and Qatar.
Each assembly of the Research Forum will consist of 2 main segments:
Bring your research
This
segment will consist of a panel of researchers and scientists who will
form the Research Support Committee and will help and guide anyone
conducting or starting research within HMC. Members of the Research
Support Committee will provide guidance and advice on any aspect of
clinical, public health, biomedicine, molecular and basic science
research. Guidance will be provided on all features of research
including forming a research question and hypothesis, literature search,
writing a research proposal, sample size calculation, manuscript
writing and paper submission. Prior registration on the 'Registration'
webpage will be required with the Research Support Committee.
Present your research
This
segment will provide a chance to researchers within HMC to present
their ongoing or published research, around a central clinical theme.
All presentation submissions will be classified according to a clinical
or research topic. Researchers will be invited to present according to
the relevant clinical or research topic for each assembly of the
Research Forum.
Health professionals and researchers interested
in participating in the Research Forum are requested to fill out the
Registration Form for the respective segments, described above.
If
you do not have a research query or a research project to present, but
are interested in research and want to network and meet fellow
researchers, you can attend and listen to presentations in the 'Present
Your Research' segment from 2:30 - 4:00pm. Networking and informal
discussions on research can also continue after the Research Forum
Program closing.
