We offer assistance for literature search for Systematic Reviews for those who are enrolled as a Friend, because this activity requires a good understanding of search processes and will require going through the Online modules. However if you have attended QMed’s workshop (not just a short lecture) – you can enrol for our Online courses for a 25% discount and can then get this assistance. Do write to us at info@qmed.ngo and tell us when and where you attended our workshop. We will help you enrol.
