Prachur Khandelwal

Society of Research and Academia: Research Officer

Hello, my name is Prachur Khandelwal, and I am honored to present my candidacy for the position of Research Officer at the Society of Research and Academia. Having previously struggled with finding research by myself, I understand the beneficial role guidance and society-run networking events can play. With a passion for advancing knowledge and fostering an environment of intellectual curiosity, I am committed to strengthening our research community.

If elected, I will prioritize the following:

Develop more SORA research poster/essay competitions in collaboration with other institutions and societies. This would help introduce eager ICSM students into research, and the outputs could be repurposed to enter other competitions.
Hosting events with a focus on quality improvement, empowering you to conduct your own when on placement. This is especially more important with the competitive specialty application ratios.
Reaching out to researchers across different fields (clinical and basic science across multiple topics) to set up research projects that members could apply to.
Workshops on how to seize research opportunities and approach researchers you are interested in working with.

I am committed to making research more impactful, inclusive, and accessible for all of our society members, whether they are already veterans in the field or those curious about trying it out. With your support, we can strengthen our society as a hub for academic excellence.

Vote for progress. Vote for impactful research.
