The course was exceptionally informative and well-structured, with each subject covered in a clear and concise manner. The ample number of mini breaks and a dedicated lunch break ensured that participants could absorb the information without feeling overwhelmed. As someone relatively new to research, I found it incredibly beneficial to gain a deeper understanding of terms such as manuscript and systematic review, which I use frequently but had not fully comprehended until now. The course went above and beyond in addressing even the smallest details, such as factors to consider when deciding where to publish research. This level of thoroughness is rare to find online or even when seeking advice from colleagues.
Dr. Shah was nothing short of amazing—polite, engaging, and incredibly dedicated throughout the course. He helped us understand complex topics into simple information and made the experience both enjoyable and enriching. Dr. Shah’s willingness to go the extra mile was particularly evident when he took the time to demonstrate how to edit images—a practical skill that I found unforgettable and immensely helpful. The tools and techniques provided during this course will undoubtedly save a significant amount of time, especially for beginners like myself.
I also thoroughly enjoyed the interactive group activity at the end, where we brainstormed potential topics for service evaluation. This collaborative exercise was a fantastic way to wrap up the course on an engaging and thought-provoking note. I wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone looking to understand and enhance their research skills. Dr. Shah’s passion, expertise, and commitment make this an invaluable experience.
The course was highly relevant and well-structured. Really enjoyed how personal examples were incorporated, it made the content more relatable and engaging.
The real-life examples were particularly helpful. Notably, the type of comments one can expect from a reviewer, and how to best to reply to these. Additionally, the live example of the online submission form and how to navigate that. An excellent day overall – thank you very much!
Thank you very much for your time and effort in organising this course. It was very useful and enjoyable and a great insight into publishing. I think the pace was reasonable and breaks were sufficient enough to enable comfortable amount of learning without overload. As other attendees have suggested, I really found your personal examples of cases, articles etc very useful for demonstrating how to practically go about publishing in medicine. I really wish I had gone on this course before going through the publication process for the first time! I hope this course continues to be offered to other trainees/students.
Very useful practical tips and tricks and really appreciated the examples to help put research ideas into context. The worked example breakout rooms made me feel motivated to put things into practice. Having the opportunity to make my own notes suited me well.
Thank you so much. This is exactly what I needed before I start my research job
Brilliant. So much I did not know about publishing that has been covered today. I feel a lot more confident about trying to publish something now!
I found today really helpful. I have not managed to publish anything so far despite trying a few times but now I can see what I was doing wrong. I will try again now!
This was so useful. I wish I had known these things that we discussed today at the start of my registrar training, but better late than never i suppose! I hope you will run this course again for future trainees.
