QMed has taught literature searching and reference management since 2008 April. We have delivered lectures and conducted workshops. Over a span of time, we have had requests to put up our courses online, so that we could reach out to a large number. Spreading our knowledge is our mission and we got our first course online in May 2018, and in September 2019 we added two more courses. During the lockdown we restructured the courses (especially to include the “new PubMed) and got them up and ready in June 2020.

Why are our courses important?

1. Medical practice evolves with research
2. Literature search is the foundation of research
3. If the foundation is weak, the research is weak
4. Weak results do not contribute to evidence
5. Good research -a must for evidence based practice

These skills are rarely taught systematically in the curriculum and we wish to help spread these skills. So we wish to reach all institutions in India and request each one to provide access to all their students, residents, faculty, and healthcare professionals. We believe that with large numbers of institutions taking access, we can keep the costs low. This is a win-win for all. Here are our annual rates for institutional access:

• Educational Institutions : Rs 40,000/-
• Hospitals: Rs. 25,000/-
• Small institutions - Rs. 15,000

GST will be added as applicable at the time of invoicing (Currently it is 18%)

Do send us an email - info@qmed.ngo to learn more about registering for access.

The above rates are for educational / research institutions / hospitals in India.

Pharmaceutical companies in India, please write to us to know about access charges for corporates. We also welcome your support towards our initiative
