Virtual Work

Virtual Work

The principle of virtual work states that if a body is in static and dynamic equilibrium, then the sum of all the virtual work done by all external forces and couple moments for any given virtual displacement must be zero.
In static equilibrium, a body can experience an imaginary or virtual movement, such as displacement or rotation. The virtual work done by a force is equal to the dot product of force and virtual displacement in the direction of the force. When it comes to virtually rotating a...

Background:

Medical research is crucial for career progression.
Traditional mentoring programs are often geographically restricted.
The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of virtual platforms for academic activities.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the experience of a virtual international medical research mentoring group.
To highlight a model for global medical research training and collaboration.

Main Methods:

Established a virtual international medical research mentoring group in 2015.
Utilized virtual platforms for multi-level and peer mentoring.
Emphasized active participation, early leadership, and a distributed research workflow.

Main Results:

The group comprises 63 active members from 14 countries.
Trained medical students and early-career graduates in academic medicine.
Members have authored over 100 peer-reviewed publications and won 13 research prizes since 2015.

Conclusions:

The virtual, international, accessible-distributed mentoring model is effective and efficient.
This model meets the demands of modern healthcare.
Replication of similar models can enhance global medical research mentoring.
