Faridpur Medical College
Young Researchers Club
Medical research is a prestigious work worldwide. But somehow, and quite unfortunately, this arena of opportunities and development is unexplored among the undergraduate students. As a result, Bangladeshi medical students lags behind others while comparing with the research work and even with research knowledge.
In an effort to explore the world of medical research and create a culture of thinking critically as a researcher, an initiative was taken to establish a Young Researchers Club (FMC-YRC) by Dr. Rajib Biswas and Dr. Niloy Shuvo who are alumni of Faridpur Medical College (F-21). Under the guidance and support of the Principal Prof. Dr. S. M. Khabirul Islam interested undergraduate students were asked to sign up for the FMC-YRC.
On 25 April 2019 the first session of the FMC-YRC took place in the tutorial class room of the Department of Community Medicine, supervised by Dr. Md. Rafiqul Islam (Associate Professor and Head of the Dept. Community Medicine) and Prof. Dr. ratan Kumar Saha (Former Head of the Department of Surgery). Current students of FMC attended the session and express their curiosities regarding medical research.
On 15 July 2019, second meeting and workshop with the FMC-YRC took place in the class room of the Department of Pediatrics. Dr. A. F. M. Parvez, Assistant Professor (Neonatology) and Head of the Department of Pediatrics, appreciated the formation of the research group and agreed to be the supervisor of the club. On the second meeting, brief discussion was done on the research methodology and members were invited to generate new ideas of research and participate in different research work.
Very soon, students started working on different research projects supervised by their respected teachers and started learning the nitty-gritty of medical research by first-hand experience.
- Engage the research enthusiast students of Faridpur Medical College in different research activities.
- Equip the students with the practical and updated knowledge of conducting a medical research by first-hand experience.
- Allow the students to develop their own research ideas and execute them under the guidance of the respected teachers.
- Build a culture of medical research among the students in an academic environment.
- Help the teachers carry out their research work with active participation.
Right now our team is conducting various research activities under the supervision of the teachers of Faridpur Medical College.
