“Publish. Present. Stand Out. With StepsEasy Research Rx.”
Personalised research mentorship for USMLE aspirants — from idea to publication.
PIONEER’S NOTE:
Dr Riya Raju MBBS, MD
My research journey began with an ICMR abstract rejection in 1st year of medical school, and was shaped by the many unanswered questions I faced during the USMLE journey.
Motivated by this gap, we wanted to create a platform that goes beyond traditional mentorship and publication help. Our goal is to provide affordable, excellent guidance to students at every level, encouraging them to embrace research without intimidation.
- Published 8 articles during medical school
-Awarded an STS scholarship from Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences.
-Presented >10 abstracts at national conferences.
-Trained at the Multidisciplinary Research Unit.
