About

Research MD is the research branch of OnCall MD.

One place to learn research step by step, find courses and coaches, and join a research group with a principal investigator who actually leads. In Arabic and English.

The problem

Three things we kept running into.

Every doctor we know has a version of these stories.

Research is required, but taught as a lecture.

Training programs expect research, yet most of us meet it as a slide deck. Nobody practices the steps, so the first real study feels impossible.

Providers are scattered across chats and PDFs.

Good courses, workshops and mentors exist, but they live in group chats, flyers and forwarded files. Finding the right one depends on who you know.

Finding a PI who will actually lead is luck.

Students and residents chase supervisors one message at a time. Many groups stall because nobody owns the study from question to submission.

Founder positions, not statistics

Why here

Built for the Saudi medical community.

We start with the programs, trainees and supervisors we know best.

  • Training programs expect research

    Postgraduate training programs regulated by SCFHS expect research activity from their trainees.

  • A national priority

    Vision 2030 names research and innovation as a national priority.

  • Arabic and English from day one

    Every lesson, button and badge works in both languages, right to left and left to right.
