About the Forum

A Student Body Built to Close the Research Gap

The Nishtar Research Council – Student Forum exists to close a gap every Pakistani medical student knows: enormous clinical exposure, and almost no structured route into research. We give undergraduates at Nishtar Medical University the methodology training, mentorship and platform that turn a good clinical question into publishable work.

What we stand on

Three Commitments, Consistently Kept

Every workshop, every mentorship pairing and every conference traces back to one of these.

01

Teach it properly

Research is a skill, not a talent. We teach study design, sampling and protocol writing as a curriculum, in order, with practice — not as a one-off guest lecture.

02

Connect it to faculty

A student with a good question and no supervisor gets nowhere. We match members with Nishtar faculty who commit to seeing a project through to submission.

03

Give it a stage

Work that is never presented is never tested. Our conference puts undergraduate research in front of a judging panel that asks real questions.

What we run

Programmes for every stage of a project

All Programmes →
01
Core

Research Methodology Training

Structured sessions covering study design, sampling, questionnaire development, and protocol writing — the groundwork most undergraduates are never formally taught.

02
Year-round

Faculty Mentorship Matching

We pair students with Nishtar faculty and senior researchers who supervise a project end to end, from question to submission.

03
Workshop

Biostatistics & Data Analysis

Practical SPSS and statistical reasoning, taught on real datasets rather than slides, so you can analyse your own study with confidence.

04
Workshop

Scientific Writing & Publication

How to structure a manuscript, write a defensible discussion, choose a journal, avoid predatory publishers, and survive peer review.

05
Conference

Abstract & Poster Presentation

Preparing, designing and delivering research at conferences — including presentation coaching before you face the judging panel.

06
Community

Research Quiz & Journal Club

Regular critical-appraisal sessions and a competitive research quiz that builds the habit of reading papers properly.
