I want to work with makeadentorg.
What exactly do you do?

makeadent.org's foundational principles are altruism, brilliance and creativity. We work with clinical investigators to develop and innovate concepts in cardiovascular medicine across the spectrum of topics spanning innovation in heart and vascular science, health disparity, diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging, and spirituality in medicine.

If you need help in formulating your research question around a concept that will pass muster with the rigor of clinical/scientific investigation, we at makeadent.org are your friends. We will partner with you to help get your question answered with the highest scientific rigor and "see it through" to publication.

I want to volunteer for makeadentorg. How can I help?

We have traditionally not worked with volunteers. However, as we continue to expand our horizons, we will welcome medical students and housestaff with skill in dissemination of health information on social media. If you think you are equipped with the skillset β€œPop Science” as some may refer to, please get in touch with us. Also, we will welcome volunteer services for help with raising funds for CHAI (Cardiovascular Health in Asian Indians) Collaborative.

How can I get featured as a guest on Parallax podcast?

Simple! Just reach out to Dr. Kalra, our creative director and leave the rest to him (and us).
