Why meta-analysis moves the needle
For IMGs, research is one of the few parts of the application you can still build now. Meta-analysis is the fastest credible way in: no lab, no funding, no clinical site.
It becomes a publication, a conference abstract and an interview talking point. That's why this workshop ends with a mentored project, not a certificate.

From our students
Dr. Shariq and Dr. Tariq covered everything from A to Z, answered every question in detail, and made it all look simple.
I came in expecting a basic orientation and left feeling like an expert. Beginner-friendly yet very extensive.
The first time I've actually understood statistics. Brilliant teachers and a warm classroom that makes you want to learn.
