USMLE: How To Publish World Class Research 🧬 (2024) | From A to Z

in the ultra competitive world of us smla one of the only few skill sets that can almost guarantee uh residency spot is research not only can it make getting into residency a walk of cake it can also help you get into IV League institutions that others can only dream of and also help you match into ultra competitive specialities like plastic surgery radio surgery and apart from that it has other benefits that you might not have even heard of like getting 01 visas or eb1 visas that can help you get a green card within months and

there's a whole lot of carer benefits where there's a whole world of carers you would have not even heard of which research opens for you and it can also help you fund your USM Journey so in this video I have a very special friend with me somebody who is a superstar in the world of research not only has he published 20 plus research papers in renowned journals all across the world he's also on the editorial board of Frontiers the board of annals of surgery and Medicine the board of anals or medicine and curious which is

a famous Journal that many people have heard of apart from that he's currently doing a residency slf Fellowship kind of hybrid position at UPMC in radio surgery which is almost impossible to get in that spot and he did this through research and today my friend Jerry loric Dominic is going to walk us through everything about research from A to Z on how to like start with research what are the benefits and you know everything in in a blueprint manner where we're going to go in a step-wise approach from basic to Advanced and I think anybody

in the field of research if if you are starting or you're really like you know in the intermediate level or advanced level I think Jerry can help a lot so yeah let's tune in so Jerry welcome how how is it going good morning mon uh how are you doing man thanks for having me here such a pleasant alive and well so I recently got braces yeah so so so I'm kind of yeah taking in the brace pain and like trying to Wing this video we'll see how that goes but yeah Jerry so how's it going

currently you are in your radio surgery I think research Fellowship right I'm I'm starting my research here this July so I'm I'm currently in my Advanced Training it's it's it's very easy to explain it's between uh residen and it's been a fellowship let's say I had a previous surgical residency training so a little bit about myself like Bron and brought up in Saudi Arabia the proud Indian did research we'll speak about a tons of research and then I went for my general surgery residency in University of Miami Jackson Memorial Hospital and Midway I shift actually

I got a big opportunity through my metwork are my mentors here in UPMC a program between the UPMC and Ahn system where said division of radiation oncology where I do radio surgeries and stereotactic radio surgery so it's Advanced Training which is more than a residency and it's kind of a fellowship and midway between this again I'm going to a research here the second time I'm going to a kind of a research fellowship and just starting on this July which is a combined research program between UPMC and whale caral where we are going into a advanced

heavy ion research using flash concept doing in us and also in Qatar so so that's pretty much about me well traveled a big Wildlife Enthusiast and yeah a big fan of this guy I mean he's he's manikan he's he's a great friend of me helped me a lot with my step three prep been a friends for like almost three four years now and he very glad to connect back again through this opportunity yeah same same Jerry so Jerry tell me like you've been like you know in the field of research for quite a while and

it's helped you so much why do you feel research is so important especially for usly aspirants okay so that's a broad question let me give my perspective for your for your question that's my answer which is from my perspective and there a general answer why is research very important where we are right now with our field of medicine is because of research let's say in the field of surgery that Davy Mission the robotic Davy mission that has been on field right now is because of the advancement in research immunotherapy which is which is The Pinacle

of cancer treatment like say you can even cure certain lung cancers with immunotherapy and that is happening today because of research and this is my perspective why is research so important but the what are the other benefits of research let's take residencies comparative residencies or fellowships uh I think research is the main thing which drags you into the spot particularly if you're from forign Nation you're an IMG if you have years of graduation Gap or let me put it this way it shows the system or it shows the ni HED that you are worth for

them to hire you so research also apart from what I said helps someone to get into very compartive specialty and with these years where they have turned this usml steps to pass and fail I think soon they're also going to change CK not now in the coming years to pass and fail so in this trend I think research is something which is a gateway for almost every residencies in the coming year and that's what I believe and it also helps us from my perspective it helps us to think better re research has changed my personality

I think I'm not super smart but I'm think I'm doing better in life because of research yeah like it it does kind of make sense that you know like you you might just be a learner of medicine and do well but like the creation of new knowledge opens up A New Perspective like you know helps you break barriers that you might have had and I think that is so important especially in a field of medicine that is advancing at such a high speed um for you to be familiar with like let's say once you're done

with your residency um there's still new knowledge you need to acquire and one of the ways to do that is by knowing how knowledge is created and what kind of knowledge should you be applying and what you should not be applying based upon your understanding of research right apart from that like can you tell me something about like how can research help applicants get green cards okay so that's a very good question I myself right now I'm in a 0 Visa uh well well I did not plan research for ow visa to be honest but

uh when you do research for a dedicated amount of time through citations let's say if you go into deep like lab research or like let's say if you go to translation research there are chance that your Publications get picked up by let's say some good magazines so let's say if you look at eb1 or o1 there are almost nine criterias and out of nine if you fill three criterias you're eligible for both of them o1 or eb1 it's almost the same thing if you're in research you're almost already filling three criterias right I mean there

are other ways you can fill those criterias but if you have been researched for a while you automatically fit in three criterias so that helps you basically to get the o1 SL green card or E1 very easy I mean without going through the long hard track I think that answers question so how long would it take you like now that that you've gotten the o1 Visa how long does it take after getting like something like eb1 and 01 to get a green card okay so if you are in 01 you get the eligibility to apply

for green card I would say when you are in 01 let's say the difference between o1 and eb1 I would say is maybe a little bit the citations when if you need to get eb1 I mean there's not we don't they don't have any necessary like okay you should have so much citations or whatever but for eb1 usually if you have more than 200 citations I think you're good to go so when you have that even as a o1 you're already going into eb1 once you apply for that and eb1 is actually a green card

thing so you apply from 01 maybe 3 to eight months if you apply I think you're you're already in the green card and also there are few few things which matters your country of birth I think I had a luck in that but but basically if you're on 01 I think you're almost there from o1 you go into E1 which is actually green card so 3 to eight months okay so it's it's just 3 to eight months you get get your green card that's like way faster than somebody like me from India like if I

have to apply for something like this like for me it would be like an eb2 category so it's like 14 15 years so what you're telling me is like 15 times maybe faster than what I getting but that that's kind of okay apart from that like you know can having research skills can it open up new carers that like you know Physicians can take up you mean you're asking what are the carriers in research yeah like let's say you're a physician right like and and having a research skill set how can that help me number

one as a medical student right and then as a resident and then as an all right so let me put it this way let me break down what are the carriers you have in research okay the best carrier you can have in research is a PhD doing a PhD then there are other things like research training which is a basic level you don't get paid or anything research scholar sometimes a research scholar get paid sometimes they do not then comes research assistant then research associate and then comes research coordinator okay so these are how we

can dissect the research positions and coming to your question let's say let me put it this way you graduate your residency or Fellowship okay there are people who graduate residency and like fellowship and training without research and there are people who graduate with research particularly when you go in an academic program like a teaching program even it comes to like pay a person with a strong research background is paid much much ahead off comparing the person who doesn't have the research even in private practice if you're going to hpit which is not academic oriented two

people are there one with research and one without research they pick that person and there are two people whom they have to pick again the person of the research get again paid higher coming to going from residency to Fellowship you have more research you get easily your fellowship wanted you have more or better research you get into compatitive programs like IB League programs so a research is always like a like a Captain's Cap right from residency to Fellowship even to the job Visa each and everything it puts you in front of everyone right from P

scale and academic positions you usually get move from a you know you start as a assistant then you move into associate then you move into a professor the more number of Publications you have the more the citations you have you make it very quick H okay so basically what you're telling me is there's like five levels right you start with research training which is basically you don't get paid you're still training and then you go into like research scholar then assistant associate and the last is like Professor right which is like the highest level right

like PhD Professor about there so so let's start with like the basics right like you know becoming a research traine like or you know getting into research experience and also like what is individual research versus re research experience for let's say medical students who are applying like could you differentiate really the difference between these like especially when you see like the eras where they make you they ask you right what's your research experience and then there's like a separate SE for Publications how is that different okay so to answer that question let me put it

this way research training is someone who goes into a research elective or someone who Begins the research let's say people from abroad you know first they who are coming to United States for research I think most of the people are provided the first at the first the research train or let's say people who are medical students who come to United States and who does the research elective they're also like research training research training is where like you you are in the you're learning the ABCDs of research and once you have a little amount of experience

you move from a research training to research scholar when you're are a scholar you can be in a research is funded sometimes not in a fund not sometimes not in a funded research like funded versus not funded you can be in either but once you progress in your research scholar they start paying you and when it comes to the next question like research assistant research associate research coordinator pH people that's they they have to pay you and then coming to your next question like you asked something about individual research right so individual research is something

what do I take it's about how you work on yourself before getting into the the main track let's say if you start with writing a case report or if you start with helping someone in their paper like on the peripheral without without any expectations or without even being an author that's where you are you are doing uh research training where you are doing some individual research from Individual research you get into that research fellowship or the dedicated main track research because you have to show the individual research and you have to show the people like

hey I have got some skill set and that helps to go from there to the main research track okay so basically what you're saying is like the the level before all these like you know before starting as a research train you would have would be having some individual research right but but but like outside of systems like you know the United States and like systems like Australia like developed country systems right like the training in like just generating individual research is kind of poor so many students don't even know how to write a case report

like how to do those things right so tell me about you know like how did you start so let's lay out like a blueprint for somebody who's like starting at let's say the individual research level where you started like how did you start publishing you know maybe your first case report and then like you know how did you move on right right right so that that's a very important question I would say first the best thing to do in a research is find a mentor find a strong Mentor that's what I did so when I

was in India you know I think I was doing my internship after my final year I got in touch with a surgical oncologist his name is Dr prag prish and he's pretty well known in the field of oncology so he was an MD Anderson you know I I reached out to him by myself and I said like you know I'm interested and my interest is in oncology at the time I didn't even have a plan for residency I'm to come to United States do research and I I was not even having a plan for the

residency then I got connected with him and I think most people they start with a case report and even for a case report you have to have a mentor because it's not like you just write something and you can get published in a pub but index Journal there has to be a good final author even because for the journals to accept you as a beginner to come into the research field they have to see okay who who is guiding you who seeing like what you're doing is right or wrong apart from their way of looking

into you they want to see are you trained under someone is someone ging you so the first and main thing is to find a mentor and then start with Basics like writing a case report like you write a couple of case reports you learn what is writing then you can try with some reviews I mean you don't need to necessarily go into a systematic review or something you can start with some literature reviews again you need some guidance to write a review so once you write a case report which also has a review at the

Baseline you can go into a full literature preview again you need mentors you need some teaching like you know how do you write an abstract before writing a paper how do you write an abstract so how do you get the idea how do you formulate it how do you check if this is already in the literature so again you need some Cadence then you you get you get you know you you can get the teaching like under some mentors like if you go into a transation research you it's easy for you to write some literature

reviews in that way and once you learn those I think then you have to come into the real real track you know that's a time where you move from a research traine to or from a research scholar into you know the research assistant or when you go to research Fellowship you start writing metaanalysis like systematic review and metan analysis for that you need guidance you need to be in a setup where there's active clinical risk going on and from there you can go into original papers meanwhile you can write perspectives but what is a perspective

it's something anyone can write but it should be Visionary it should be novel but it's it's a small paper but to write these papers you should already climbing these Lads when you write a original study now you know how to write a perspective how to write a commentary on an original study is already published that's how you climb I I understand that like let's say like I am a medical student right now in like some other country I'm right now not in the US and you said that you know you need to find a mentor

like how do I find a me like do I just keep emailing people and get like a remote mentorship kind of like deal or do I need to go there like you know let's say MD Anderson and work with the matter but let's say I'm just in med school how do I do that I would say the best bet is to find the people who are in let's say in t32 research or people who are working in a grant because they have to write more to work out the Grant and they also have the time

to teach because they need more people they are looking for people people who are like t302 research or grants from like big inst like ni H or ngos you go to them yeah the best thing to do is like reach out to multiple peoples let's say you reach out like 10 15 20 peoples maybe you find one or two with two who who are actively involved in like these kind of which I which I said who are working under grants or who are working like t32 kind of research and they will respond well other people

who are into translation research or the regular clinical research they can give you a chance but the people who who are looking for are the people who are doing this kind of research because they need more people to work and they have the time and space to teach so how would I know somebody is a t32 researcher or not connections referrals connections and referrals is there another way like you know maybe LinkedIn or like finding it through maybe you know the website of let's say John Hopkins or you know like is there another way or

is just like connection okay so the hardest way is to go and search earlier it was a little easier but now because I think in the past four or five years more people are trying for research spots than the number of spots like before that like when when long back when when I was trying let's say if I email like 5 10 people like there's a fair chance from most of them but now there are more applicants compared to the spots so yeah you can always find through that but it's a hard track because of

the number of people I think along with that if you start reaching out to people like you know through social media maybe you find someone who you comes to a newspaper or in LinkedIn hey they got the grant approved you immedately reach out to them and make out to one of your friends who's doing a residency or a friend or friend who's doing a fellow fellowship or something like that and ask for a referal and I think that's way to do it along with emailing as much number of yeah so so there's like basically levels

to this like you're saying right and the the the the easiest way and the lowest threshold would be like something like emails which is saturated like you're saying it's kind of like harder because the barrier to entry is like kind of lower to that you know part but like you know you're also going into this networking aspect which we discuss about you know how important Network is right and that opens up like connections which opens up like research opportunities which opens up more Network it's like a whole cycle like feedback cycle so yeah that that's

okay so so I think that's a good way to like think about it is you know like you can look at look it up on the websites email people but then like there's also the other way of going around with like connections which is actually like the easier way out because there's not as much saturation and the barrier to entry to that like is kind of harder so so let's say Okay I I get a research Mentor right and they they can work remotely with me would that be okay like you know if I'm in

like let's say India right I'm doing medical school would they be okay or like would they want want me to be absolutely so so since comparing before now like particularly after covid right I think most of the people particularly in research as long as it's not a lab research because when you do a lab research because first when I came to States when I was in Long Island I was in lab research as long as you're not in the lab research let's say if you are in a translation research right you you can work from

remote like you made you make the connections you start getting into a project let's say you you're given some homeworks you can you can do it from remote place that's possible these days yes and slowly you can you can come yeah that's that's a better way so that that's one way right and let's say like when you start like a research Fellowship right so you're technically like starting at the level of maybe you know a scholar or an assistant really and at that level you know there's unfunded research where you know you're not being paid

anything right and then there's like funded research where you're being paid like a salary like 64 $70,000 you're making some money right to pay for your bills and whatnot how does one like increase the chances of getting like funded research like in their first time I know that's harder right like mostly people get into first like six months of unfunded positions don't get paid anything and then like once they prove themselves they start getting a paycheck right but what what what are the factors that will like make it higher for you you know like give

you a higher chance of getting into something like a funded research position so I think here's where I can put all the things in a nice and crispy way uh so first of all if you're going for a research Fellowship almost 99.9% you are getting paid because research Fellowship is provided to someone when there's a grant sitting about because when when people get a grant and they work for it and that's where they pull the research Fellowship into the game so if you're going to research Fellowship almost 99.9 99 per you are being getting paid

well there are some other things which we can discuss later but research Fellowship you are definitely getting paid but how do you get into that level when you start early some people when they are medical students they travel here do the research elective and they are a research train right some people they email let's say they put some 100 emails and they get one chance or they do the networking and they have a chance to talk to the principal investigator who's working on a grant but first they they give a chance to them let's say

if you have done a case report if I publish some case report or something you can reach out with that credential to someone who's on a grant research right now you're getting the opportunity you can work on remote and you can show them let's say for six to seven months to eight months you work with them so in that time they have a chance to read you like how you how efficient you are more than efficiency they want to see how dedicated you are because you don't learn research in like in like few months or

in a year so all they want to see is your dedication doing the initial proct being a research traine or a research scholar once after that you can come here and do the research Fellowship which can be done before The Residency or even doing during The Residency once you're in research Fellowship you take the position of like research assistant or associate and you get paid so first start from remotely try to reach out to people through emails get the connections and do the work which is being given to you show your dedication you don't need

to show results show that your dedication you are working and then they're ready to hire you gotcha Okay and like I had another question so basically you were giving us this route of finding a research mentor and then like might might be you know doing remote research and then going up to these levels you know there's other um organizations and like not not just organizations like groups who kind of you know say like just come into the group and we'll help you publish research right what's the value of that okay so I think this is

a very very important question let me put it like this you can write as much as papers you want and you can publish but does it matter University well yeah they can see you like let's say if you're applying for residency or even if you're applying for research position they see okay the guy has published so much much but has he done something with us has he done something with a person who's working on a funed research let's say I I know I know there are a lot of platforms where research are being provided where

where they don't actively do research related to something What's Happening Here I think that helps to boost your CV shows that you have learned something but when it comes to here let's say if you want to match into a competitive program you have to do some research where you are involved with the principal investigator who is involved with the NIH because these people pulled the fund to the hospital or to the department and when you do research with these kind of people that's what makes the change matching into compartive specialty or going to a good

research position at a big Institute other research yeah it's shows your effort well if you ask me does it help you for a match into a research question or res not exactly these days these days these days you do you you have to do research for someone who has something to do with the NIH or with the hospital Department who's bringing so much fun and you should like you know because that's where they can go and vouch for you to get into whatever position you want so that's to build up your SE this is to

go for the game play H yeah I think that that makes sense as well so now kind of bringing into the perspective of lying into like a residency in the US right there's this thing like called the year of graduation which is how like when did you graduate and the dis the time from I like year of graduation or yog right the more time you have like the the lesser the chances of matching right for for a lot of people because you're like kind of losing medical knowledge like fresh medical knowledge that you could have

applied to residency so like a yog more than three years is kind of you know seen as an old graduate right and they're even less preference or like on on the rank order list than somebody who has a younger you know yog right like less like less than three years like how do you kind of work with these two opposing factors of maybe going into like you know after graduation having this research fellowship and then balancing out your year of graduation okay so I can answer this question so how having had work with the people

who were in The recency Selection committee and right now in my program I'm also a part of the GN in the recency selection comp yeah you are correct when you have a gap in your year of graduation what the program thinks is usually it's it's not just your knowledge has evaporated it's also they think you are not as flexible as a fresh candidate when when when when when there's a gap you're growing old it's it's it's not that easy to tame you or it's not that easy to flex you like how they can Flex Flex

a young graduate like a student or something well well me my myself I was having a graduation cap and I think the research is the main thing which helped me well how did research help me because of the connection at the end of the day it comes to connections at the end of the day it comes to connection but research gives the connections and how research shows the program that you could be a fit because when you are dedicated research again it shows you ready to be you can be flexed because when you are research

you're again in a mode where you know you have to work under all the people I under the residents under the fellows and you have to go above and beyond according to how they want you how they want to flex you so it shows that you're again flexible and dedicated and over that during this during this time period you develop strong relationship with your mentors and pis and again they vouch for you so it shows your dedication and it shows again you are flexible and you're not St so good quality research kind of trums year

of graduation in in like many regards okay so moving moving on to my next question and that is like the role of artificial intelligence in like generating research right and now like the matter of the fact is like in the past I think two to three years right the number of tools that can help you kind of write a research paper has like increased exponentially like there's size space right Char some people also use that like you know at least to accelerate research writing right what what do you think about you know what's the perception

of writing research papers with the help of AI and I'm not saying you're you're making like bad research happen I'm just saying let's say you know you lack a few skills that AI can make up for for example academic writing right which a lot of us struggle with right what do you what what do you think you know is the view like do journals like they are they very like you know like anti- aai do not use artificial intelligence at all right or are they Pro AI or they're new like what's the stance like at

least at this time all right it's a very interesting question me I think I'm I'm I'm getting that like you know I'm becoming a fan of AI right now because I I'm a fan of AI I'm just getting into the gateways of AI because the research which I'm going right now the heavy ion therapy it involves a lot of support from the AI coming to your question can you write a research paper with the help of AI no problem problem you can but you do the work you do all the framework by yourself then you

can ask the support of AI but you don't get straightly go to Ai and Sh gbd write the paper for me and it can write a script but I don't think that's going to work because all the people uh in the editorial board of the journal for example I'm in the editorial board of few journals right I can I can me being at the base level on this editorial board I think even myself I can judge if this paper is written by someone someone and they ask the help from the AI to put in a

better way or if someone made the AI to write this paper I I can I can differentiate so if you're getting the help of AI after you work let's say 80 percentage you're asking the AI to put in a better way yes but if you're asking AI itself to write what you're think you're just giving an idea to the AI it's going to write I don't think it's it completes the research and these days journals particularly pbet index journals they are very catchy about it and I don't think it's a good idea I I don't

think it's a good idea you do your work you try your best like how I said right you don't need to be perfect in research all you need to put some effort with those effort you make you go to the AI which is your second Mentor again you don't ask them to do the job no okay got gotcha now I just wanted to ask this question because you know like many applicants struggle with the formal writing and sometimes you know AI can help in that regard but like you know many like journals I guess there

there must be a few or very like stringent about you know anti- aai actually that they don't want any piece of AI into it so so that's why I was just asking so like do majority of journals are they like you know using it to just use it as um writer for you not like the research generator would there be okay or no or okay so journals these days particularly the top journals for example like jam Lancet nature curious Exley I mean the journalist which I work like Frontiers they have their own kit let's say

they have their own artificial intelligence thing where like how like how you find out the plagiarism there is a kit these days when they have developed through the binary codings if a content is generated by AI they can catch it so coming back to your question you put the effort you ask the ai's help yeah it works you completely do it you're caught okay gotcha okay okay but but using it for formal writing isn't like b or something okay now just just heard that question so so apart from that like you know let's say else

does research play a big part in like essentially what I'm asking is like you know careerwise like you talked about you know like there's the ultimate level which is Professor above that there are levels like you know chair program director right like you know chair is basically the the boss of the whole program can somebody go to a level of a chair without research of course you can you can you can you can be a chair of a program without a research because at the end of the day who decide who who becomes a chair

the employer okay if the employer finds a person you know who can do certain job because the role of a chairman of a department is not just about academics it's it's a big responsibility well if a person is strong in research it shows him he's very good at multitasking he's very good at problem solving because they want people as chairs who are very good at problem solving like any kind of problem not not the problem the studies problem solving multitasking if you're good at research it gives some signal okay we can take this guy but

if some let's say if if somebody knows someone for a long time and if they're doing a good job clinically they might not have good they might not have even have like good number of research papers but they would be very good at clinic and they would have been known to the employer for a long time they straightly recruit them as a chair yeah so not but doing a research it's it easily pushes you it gives them a certificate right away and it's not it doesn't end with share like you know there are position Beyond

CH let's say how do we get grants let's say I'm going to work on a grant right now how do we get the grant it's from the NIH who who who who signs these are the people who has been to the like let's say who who have gotten the Everest of research it's beyond the P of chair and everything you know they they they they they look at the gr writing and they are the people who approves the grant that that that's that's a very big thing okay and and okay so so that's that's one

way there's also like pharmaceutical research where like you know there is NIH funded one and then there's something you do with like pharmaceutical companies could you also go into that like you know how do you get like pharmaceutical research contracts and versus federally funded NIH contracts okay so when it comes to the pharmaceutic company research let's say there are companies like Dexter Laboratories let's say even India the sun farmer right so basically how do I put in the way they sponsor the research let's say they they they have a drug they they invented through few

of their biomedical engineers and the phds and it worked on their monkey or R like rat or Mouse models and they want to put it on the market and they have to get the FD approval so again they hired the people who are already good at research and they asked them to experiment it and they put it and in these things the pharmaceutical companies fund these people and who do they hire who are already well wored in research who has been a part of T30 research or who has been a part of NIH granted research

so they usually go for people who are already well vered with research and those people who they pick again they pick small they the people who are picked by the pharmaceutical companies they again pick small small people to get what they want they even go and get a research training to write a part of their abstract which is required to get some of their jobs done so it's it's a premit okay so you need to first kind of get like federally funded in order to like do pharmaceutical research okay lastly moving on like let's let's

kind of conclude this so let's say I'm again like putting it like in The Beginner's perspective I want to learn like what a case report is you know are there any case are there any kind of courses that kind of teach you how to write any case reports systematic reviews meta analysis kind of give you the like the educational aspect I'm not puring the experience aspect which comes later but kind of you know worse like you know well worsing you in the basic terminology and the way the levels of evidence work is was there any

course that you did online that was kind of free or maybe even paid that helped right so this is what I think where I could help a little bit so I know you you earlier ask me a question right how about there are some platform teaching people research and they write a lot of papers and is it really making any help so the real answer is yeah it helps to boost up your city but to get what you want like a compartive speciality or even normal non-mar especially at the top Institute you have to work

with some people some strong mentors who are connected with that Institute in some way but that's not possible for everyone right so me along with support of few people let's say my mentors right from my mentor like I think I have managed enough or I networked enough I have pulled all the people from my past with the help of few other people let's say there's a program director of minimal iniversity surgery from North Health New York his name is Dr in mukarji my other Mentor Dr prish Who is from MD Anderson who is working as

director of oncolog right now in cample University there's a resident chief resident who's going into Fellowship in on College in MD Anderson like Char ready so like there's another ex program director called Dr doniel Daniel Roman Ali of like Orthopedics so we all together we have come together like not not like big group a small group who are all who are involved in straight research under institutes and who need manpower to finish some of the writings or do some of the writings same time we are seeing that as a platform to provide opportunities of people

so they can get the connections they and get the papers which are useful for them to match so we have formed a platform it's called Ras conservatorium it's it's just to provide a service like like to give back and I think there are few platforms like this done by some people also in ut South question and one people from UT San Antonio group is doing that I think if people can get access to these kind of platforms what they get is they're getting connected to the people who are looking for people to do some writings

at the same time these people are part of big Grant or t32 research and in this way they are getting the papers published they're learning the research at the same time they're getting connected to the people who might vouch for them one day so basically work with people who are working actively on a research with the university yeah and and as I knew like parts of this is like the the RAS Consortium if you know the the whole committee part of it is free right so yeah I I'll mention the link below you know if

people want to try it out yeah for themselves and and they can see if they like it or not but anyways Jerry are there any parting words you want to give us so one thing I mean I'm I'm very interested in research so in this thing I'll tell you the chair of my previous program like I did my surgery training in University of Miami Jackson Memorial Sans used to say and there's another Mentor called Dr Rami you know ramak Krishna he used to say do research for research once once you do research for research don't

don't expect anything the research will give you what you're not even expecting you know what I mean right so do research for research but again there are a lot of we all have some priorities you know we need to do something you we need to get in something it's totally understandable because me I I came to United States without the plan of residency and everything and throughout my research my mentor said hey I have to do this clinical training because for your goals you have to have a strong standing in the clinic as well but

other ways if you're coming into research and if you're coming with the mode let's say even if you're doing a remote research you're coming with the mode of hey I'm doing this research for research I think that will get you one day what you want instead of doing research for a preoccupied purpose okay this is my perspective okay and otherwise uh give back try to help other people and Export things out of outside medicine enjoy your life reach out to me if you want any help I think I'm I'm Google like my full name is

Jerry Len Dominic you can reach out to me through my email I can provide to you here and yeah sure I'm very happy to help and happy to give back yeah thanks for again you know coming here and guys if you enjoy this video okay comment let me know what you thought any questions I think Jerry and I would be happy to answer any of your questions in the comments
