INAUGURAL COCHRANE US NETWORK MENTORING PROGRAM

Cochrane US warmly welcomes the nine mentees who were chosen to participate in our pilot program.  We received a plethora of interesting and exciting applicants, and as such expanded our preliminary pilot protocol to include seven mentees instead of two.  The mentees are divided into two cohorts who will experience similar but distinct opportunities such that when the program is scaled-up next year we can best serve individuals excited about evidence synthesis and health science!

Recently graduated, I am in my year as a rural doctor in a rice-producing coastal town in my country. I treat chronic and infectious diseases, so I always look for the best evidence and application of medicine in scarce resources.

In my spare time, I continue to work on systematic reviews and visual summaries of the evidence
