We believe in engaging with our target audience to take things ahead, so that the Indian population has access to evidence based healthcare. Since the launch we have had a steady average feedback rating of 9/10 for all parameters for our online courses. QMed next launched online courses to make such learning available all over India.We now have four online courses. The most common feedback has been - вЂњThis should be a part of the curriculum all of us need to learn thisвЂќ. Since 2008, QMed has shared its skills in literature searching and referencing, conducting hundreds of workshops and lectures all over India. What QMed does: QMed Knowledge Foundation is making a change. Ironically, these skills of structured medical literature searching and referencing are barely taught in health science courses in India.

We would naturally assume that this is part of the medical training. This requires a thorough knowledge of available information resources and the best methods to search them systematically. They need to search online to find the latest / best evidence.

Doctors and health professionals need 'evidence based research' in order to give their best. If this happens, maybe researchers could re-evaluate videos on various topics with the standard criteria.The problem in India : Healthcare has to be provided based on 'the best available evidence' - evidence of what has worked well for a large population. However, this study found that there is no establishedВ method to evaluate the content of such videos.В By compiling all criteria that were used for evaluation, and then identifying some more, one wonders that if some experts could arrive at a standard comprehensive method of evaluation. Analyze results and share details of usefulness/quality.Review videos individually (each author of a study would review).Deciding on what parameters they would assess videos.Decide inclusion criteria for what kind of videos they would assess.Search for several videos on a topic, using all possible search terms.This is a review article where the authors have identified 37 studies that have checked and assessed YouTube Videos.The most common methods that authors used to find out videos and determine their quality were: Medical YouTube Videos and Methods of Evaluation: Literature Review. They have been at this effort for about three years, and this event on March 13, felicitated different students who succeeded in gaining admission to Government Colleges! Do check out their website and offer to help them in any way possible.Дrozd B, Couvillon E, Suarez A. Lift for UpliftmentВ is an NGO in Pune started by medical students (from BJ Medical College) to coach underprivileged children for the NEET exams for joining any health sciences course. This month I attended an interesting event in Pune. I hope you enjoy reading about Browzine, and also the article on evaluation Medical You Tube Videos, that we found very interesting. We need lots more interactions, because it is only with your inputs that QMed can take things far ahead. In fact I would be happy if you read more of my recent posts, and of course subscribe to our blog. It is never too late to add more comments. I am delighted to share that a recent blog post I wrote - 'Literature searching and the ideal researcher' prompted around 40 responses - the highest ever so far for our blog posts! For those who have not read it, I would urge you to do so.
