IMET2000 Clinical Research Club

• IMET2000 Research Club is a community that gathers Palestinian medical research enthusiasts from different healthcare disciplines. The club is proposed and designed by IMET2000-Pal for both students and healthcare workers to advance and enhance their careers and, subsequently, the healthcare system through strengthening their research skills and directing them efficiently.

   

  Our vision is to develop a generation of Palestinian healthcare providers who are equipped to conduct research projects and apply the principles of Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) in their clinical practice. Additionally, we aim to establish scientific committees that will create independent Palestinian guidelines for each medical speciality, all grounded in an evidence-based healthcare system.

   

  Our mission is to create a supportive and enriching platform for healthcare providers and students to enhance their essential research skills and launch their scientific journey.  We provide training, resources, and research grants to healthcare providers and students, enabling them to engage in meaningful research projects.

We aim to develop the research competencies of Palestinian healthcare providers and students through capacity building, research opportunities, and grants.

Our courses specifically aim to provide Palestinian healthcare providers and students with basic and advanced knowledge of the following topics:

1) How to differentiate between research & clinical audit.

2) How to conduct useful clinical audits

3) How to write a research proposal.

4) How to select and refine a research topic.

5) How to identify the types of research designs.

6) How to develop research methods.

7) How to read and write scientific papers.

8) How to start your first research.

IMET2000 has allocated a budget of $10,000 for research grants, available to club members to conduct, analyse, and publish their clinical research papers.

Members will receive certificates for the completed courses by the end of the program.

Members will have free access to the IMET2000 Research Club platform, which offers numerous valuable resources to enhance participants’ knowledge.
