Starting My Medical Research Journey

r/

Hi everyone,

I’m a medical student eager to start my journey in medical research from scratch. I initially tried reading research papers, but I find them quite overwhelming—especially when it comes to understanding statistical analysis.

Unfortunately, medical research isn’t a major focus among my colleagues in my country, making it difficult to find a mentor for guidance. Given this, I’d love to know if there are any organizations, websites, or platforms that offer free courses or workshops on medical research, particularly for beginners.

I’m open to any suggestions—whether it’s structured programs, online communities, or personal advice on how to get started effectively. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!
