"In my opinion, this should be an elective course at the university, if not a mandatory one - we will all have to do this without exception."
"No substitute for this course - med school doesn’t teach this, and it’s free."
"I always avoided academic writing because it felt overwhelming. This course broke it down step-by-step and made it doable."
"It’s so relevant to our future - I can’t believe we don’t learn this in medical school."
We are pleased to invite you to the first online course of its kind on scientific writing with a medical orientation, led by Prof. Howard Amital from Sheba Medical Center and JIMS.
The course is open to all Israeli medical students, in Israel and abroad, from all programs. Its goal is to introduce medical students to the world of medical research while providing practical guidance for writing scientific articles. It offers accessible, basic knowledge on academic writing, and therefore no prior knowledge is required.
The course will be delivered online via ZOOM every Monday at 17:00, with each session lasting about an hour and a half. The first session will take place on 30/12/2024.
Participation is free of charge, subject to prior registration, full attendance at all sessions, and active participation in discussions, including turning on cameras. Registration is conditional on submitting an application form provided by the JIMS editorial team and receiving confirmation of registration. The number of participants is limited in order to maintain the quality and intimacy of the discussions during the sessions.
