QMed Knowledge Foundation
www.qmed.ngoQMed addresses a unique problem in India. Training to find updates and evidence is not part of the health sciences curriculum. As a result health science students and professionals waste hours searching for literature and evidence. Time that could be better spent in actual research, learning and practice! Health care delivery, especially diagnosis and treatment, have to be based on what works best for a major population, or what is termed “the best evidence”. Health professionals need to know how to find the best evidence – evidence that emerges from systematically done research. This requires a thorough knowledge about available information resources and knowledge about how to search them systematically. It is natural to assume that this is part of the medical training. But ironically, these skills of structured medical literature searching and referencing are barely taught in health science courses in India. Students and professionals waste lots of time due to inadequate knowledge of searching. If they get these skills that would lead not only to a lot of human-resource time saved, but it also to better health care research outputs. So what has QMed done about this? QMed helps students and professionals save hours of time. And helps them build a strong foundation for academics, research and evidence based practice. Since April 2008, we have delivered more than 470 lectures (more recently webinars) at various events. QMed has also conducted more than 240 workshops since 2008. Ms Vasumathi is recognized by the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences and the Maharashtra Medical Council as a speaker. Her speaker code is MMC/MASS/00030/2016. In 2013, she also won an International Award for the work she did through QMed. In 2018 we launched our courses online. In 2020 we revamped these and have made them available to institutions and individuals. The courses are available at www.qmedcourses.in In the first year after the revamp, we enrolled over 2500 individuals
