How to do Research as an MBBS student by Sirish Rao | KNYA Med

"I always wanted to do “something” in research, and create “some kind of impact”. My journey kickstarted in 2nd year when I join my college symposium team (r.e.s.c.u.e_), during which we only investigated the prevalence, causes, and health impacts of screen addiction in Mumbai. From understanding my abilities as a researcher to taking up responsibilities as the team leader, the symposium has been the thing that has brought the most out of me and has made the foundation for the projects coming my way. Toward the end of the 1st lockdown, I realized there was hardly anyone talking about the situation of non-COVID patients. Trying to find answers, I surveyed over 400 households in Mumbai to understand the treatment-seeking behavior and quality of care received by such patients during the lockdown. This study became my first publication & had already given me enough joy, which was doubled when our novel findings were cited in The Times of India. Around the same time came to an opportunity that I feel was the best among everything I have ever done. I was appointed the Secretary of aspire_sethgsmc. Starting as a team of two, we put together a family of more than 50 members, who put their hearts out to bring ASPIRE to a level that we take pride in. From conducting multiple Research workshops & journal clubs to creating a Research Community, today ASPIRE stands with a reputation of its own. It has been through ASPIRE that I have been able to meet multiple mentors and peer researchers who have helped me expand UG research to a national level. This network guided me to join an organization that truly aligned with my career goals, asar_for_india. Through ASAR, I have been able to work on international policy projects as big as the Lancet Commission which has also provided me opportunities to interact with some of the eminent researchers and policymakers in the field.
From thinking that I would be a diagnostician like House MD in my first year, to realizing my passion to serve as a researcher in public health and policy, I feel my dream to have “some kind of impact” might have found just the right path!
