The Research Methodology workshop, at our institution, is being conducted since the last 11 years by the Institutional Review board and the Dept. of Oral Pathology. This year, the Research Methodology Workshop -2024 was conducted by Dept. of Oral Pathology, SRM Dental College, Ramapuram in conjunction with Institutional Review Board, SRM Dental College, Ramapuram on 29/01/2024. The inauguration program was graced by the Chief Guests who were also the speakers for the day- Dr. S. A. Rizwan, Scientist D, ICMR-National Institute of Epidemiology and Dr. Richard Kirubakaran, Research Scientist, Dept. of Biostatistics, Prof. B.V. Moses Centre, CMC, Vellore. Dr. K. Ravi, Dean and Dr. K. Rajkumar, Dean-Academics, SRM Dental College, Ramapuram participated in the function and welcomed the guests. Both the speakers covered various aspects of research methodology required to conduct a good original research study. During this program, dental postgraduates were taught the principles of biomedical / clinical research methodology and biostatistics as needed for their post-graduate thesis and related research work. This workshop helped nurture a research atmosphere amongst the students and attempted to stimulate an academic environment in such a way that they would involve themselves more into meaningful research activities than merely passing the exams and getting the post-graduate degree. The ulterior motive of this program was to ignite the fire of research-oriented mindset in the students in such a way that they keep the fire burning even after they completed their education here and spread their wings in the outside world.
