Meta-Analysis Academy Omdömen 

It is an outstanding platform for international collaboration in medical research and for networking among healthcare professionals from around the world. I truly value the opportunity to connect with enthusiastic and driven colleagues. Through this collaboration, numerous papers have been presented at international conferences and published in reputable journals.

I published 2 meta-analysis after graduating from the academy

I am currently a General Surgery resident in the USA and Meta-Analysis Academy was a game-changer in my career! There is a clear before and after the course in my CV. There is so much more to the course than learning how to do a meta-analysis from scratch to publication in high impact journals: networking with other students, connecting to new mentors, traveling to conferences, development of presentation skills, personal growth, motivational boost in academic aspirations, and the list goes on!

I've presented posters/oral presentations in several international conferences in the USA since I completed the Meta-analysis academy course in 2024: SAGES, ASCRS, ACS, and ASC. I also had over 8 manuscripts published in PUBMED-indexed journals.

I give my highest recommendations to the Meta-analysis Academy course!

Through the Meta-Analysis Academy, I was able to design, carry out and publish several systematic reviews and meta-analyses in peer-reviewed international journals, including high-impact specialist publications. The mentorship goes far beyond theory, providing hands-on guidance in study design, advanced statistical methods, risk-of-bias assessment and manuscript writing to meet the highest journal standards.

What sets the MAcademy apart is its combination of rigorous methodology, constant feedback and a genuinely supportive academic community. Discussions are practical, deadlines are realistic, and the expectation is to publish multiple high-quality papers.

As a clinician-researcher, the Academy significantly increased my academic productivity and my confidence in leading complex meta-analyses, such the first meta-analysis evaluating the use of Cryoanalgesia in patients underwent lung transplantation. I would strongly recommend it to anyone looking to progress from an interest in research to publishing high-quality work with international visibility.

Being part of the Meta-Analysis Academy has been one of the most valuable academic experiences in my career.

As a physician actively involved in systematic reviews and meta-analyses, I was looking for a program that goes beyond theory and truly teaches how to design, conduct, analyze, and publish high-quality evidence-based research. The Academy delivered exactly that.

The training is rigorous, well-structured, and aligned with international standards (PRISMA, Cochrane, GRADE). What I especially appreciated was the strong emphasis on critical thinking, correct methodology, and reproducibility, rather than shortcuts or superficial outputs.

Through the Academy, I was able to strengthen my skills in protocol development, screening strategies, data extraction, statistical interpretation, and manuscript writing. These skills directly contributed to my ongoing and upcoming publications and collaborations.

Equally important, the mentorship and community are exceptional. The environment encourages high scientific standards, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

I would confidently recommend Meta-Analysis Academy to clinicians and researchers who are serious about producing credible, publishable, and impactful research.

I came across this course led by Dr. Rhanderson Cardoso through a social media ad, and honestly, it has been one of the best things to happen in my academic journey. The course does not just give you ready answers, it teaches you how to think. I learned how to approach evidence based medicine from the very basics all the way up to the highest levels of evidence.
Using what I learned, I trained colleagues at my own hospital, became first author of a Q1 publication, and later went on to design and lead a randomized controlled trial. I have also been invited multiple times to act as a peer reviewer. If I have managed to build any visibility in academia so far, this course has definitely played a big role in that.

My experience with Meta-Analysis Academy was outstanding and led to clear, measurable academic results.

Through their structured and hands-on mentorship, I was able to independently design, conduct, and publish multiple high-quality systematic reviews and meta-analyses in peer-reviewed international journals. The guidance covered the full research pipeline, from protocol development and database searching to risk of bias assessment, statistical analysis, and manuscript submission.

As a direct outcome of this training, I published several systematic reviews and meta-analyses in 2025. These include:

Transfusion practices in traumatic brain injury: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (Critical Care Medicine);

Erector spinae plane block versus caudal epidural block in pediatric surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials (Brazilian Journal of Anesthesiology);

Indobufen versus aspirin in patients with indication for antiplatelet therapy: a systematic review and meta-analysis (Vascular Pharmacology).

These publications are already generating citations and contributed to the early establishment of my academic impact, as reflected in my Google Scholar profile with dozens of citations and a growing h-index.

What truly differentiates Meta-Analysis Academy is its focus on real outcomes, not only learning methodology, but also achieving publication, navigating peer review, and producing clinically relevant evidence. I highly recommend this program to researchers, clinicians, and graduate students who are serious about publishing high-quality systematic reviews and meta-analyses.

I have been attending the Meta-Analysis Academy course for one year as a plastic surgery specialist. The program provides a highly structured and rigorous approach to systematic reviews and meta-analyses, going well beyond basic theory and focusing on real-world academic output, including protocol development, PRISMA-compliant reporting, advanced statistical methods, and hands-on work.
What I particularly value is the international and collaborative environment. Working with researchers from different countries strengthens methodological rigor and improves publication quality. The mentorship is strong, feedback is detailed, and expectations are aligned with high-impact journal standards.
This course is well suited for clinicians and researchers even students who aim to produce high-quality, publishable evidence-based research rather than learning concepts superficially. I would confidently recommend it to anyone serious about academic productivity in systematic reviews and meta-analyses.

The Meta-Analyses Academy was the best investment I have made in my medical career.

Through the Academy, I was able to develop a structured and consistent approach to scientific writing, which allowed me to study more efficiently, transform ideas into research projects, and produce high-impact academic work. Between 2023 and 2025, this training directly contributed to more than ten abstracts accepted at the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) Annual Meetings, as well as three abstracts accepted at the European Academy of Neurology (EAN) Congress.

In addition, I achieved publications in Neurology, the most prestigious and influential journal in the field of neurology. These academic achievements opened important professional doors, strengthened my international collaborations, and consolidated my career as a clinician-scientist with a strong focus on cognitive and behavioral neurology.

I joined MA Academy in September 2024, and since then it has played a pivotal role in shaping my research journey. The program offers structured, hands-on mentorship that goes beyond theory and focuses on producing publishable, methodologically sound work. Through the MA Academy, I have contributed to and published research across diverse clinical areas, including appendicitis-related outcomes and advanced critical care topics such as ECMO. The emphasis on critical appraisal, statistical rigor, and academic writing has been invaluable and directly applicable to real-world research and publication. I would highly recommend MA Academy to any medical student or clinician seeking serious training in clinical research.

I’m a 5th-year medical student from Brazil and joined the Meta-Analysis Academy during my 2nd year to learn how to properly conduct scientific research. The program was an absolute turning point in my academic career.

Through the mentorship and structured training, I was able to develop my first major research project, which resulted in a publication as first author in an international indexed journal and later contributed to a citation in the American Diabetes Association, Standards of Care in Diabetes 2026 guideline. The skills I learned — project design, data management, statistics, scientific writing, and teamwork — were also very important for my acceptance into a PhD program during medical school.

Another major impact was the networking. Through the Academy, I connected with hardworking medical students, residents, researchers and physicians from different countries, which opened doors for international collaboration and helped me secure an observership in the United States. These opportunities were fundamental for my professional growth and for understanding how high-level academic medicine works in practice.

What impressed me most was the practical approach and personalized support. The instructors were always available to review analyses, discuss ideas, and guide the entire process from concept to submission. I truly felt (and still feel) part of an academic community focused on real results, impactful research, and career development.

I highly recommend Meta-Analysis Academy to any medical student or resident who wants to build a solid research career, expand international networking, and publish high-quality work.

I’m very satisfied and impressões with the quality of Meta-Analysis Academy. The lectures are very detailed, Dr. Cardoso’s didactic is wonderful. The course staff is very responsive and supportive. I have the pleasure of participating in 1:1 mentorship program and my mentor is absolutely fantastic. He has guiding me in every single step of my project and helped me to organize my workflow.

Finally, I am completing my first meta-analysis! Without local support for learning meta-analysis, I developed my skills right here in this Academy. Coming from a very small country, it was a truly novel experience to collaborate with colleagues worldwide. Yes—if you want to start learning a new type of research and being independent in the research field, begin with learning meta-analysis in this Academy. I recommend it with all my heart.

As a Canadian, double board certified dentist (Canada and USA), I was granted admission to the Pediatric Dentistry Master and specialist certification program of the University de Montréal. This happened only after successful co-publication of a meta analysis in a reputable academic journal thanks to Dr Cardoso’s well planned out course. It is intensive, but just concise enough to be able to make quality content that should very well help you in your applications to whichever school you seek!

I have always been drawn to research as an integral part of my medical career. At a certain stage of this journey, I recognized the need to further develop methodological and analytical skills to support a project led by my research group, which had been awarded by the Brazilian Ministry of Health. This led me to pursue specialized training, during which I enrolled in a meta-analysis course taught by Dr. Rhanderson. The course provided a clear, rigorous, and in-depth understanding of the methodology, highly qualified network and comprehensive learning method with precise pathway. Since then, I have been able to maintain consistent and meaningful scientific output within my area of expertise.

One of the best decisions I made was joining the Meta-Analysis Academy. The program walks you through each step of conducting a meta-analysis in a clear, in-depth, and practical way, and by the end, you truly feel equipped to conduct one independently. The mentorship program is the cherry on top! Dr. Cardoso and his team are incredibly receptive, supportive, and always readily available to help and guide you throughout the process. I was able to come up with viable, impactful ideas and presented at multiple well-known conferences with manuscripts currently in progress.If you’re looking for a real push in your academic career(whether you are a medical student applying for residency, resident aiming for a competitive fellowship, a fellow or even an attending) and want to independently conduct high-quality research, this is the program to enroll in. Truly a game changer!

I was part of the very first cohort of Meta-analysis Academy. I had always wanted to publish research but honestly had no idea where to start or how to turn an idea into a real study. Even after graduating from the best medical school in Brazil (FMUSP), my practical research skills were pretty basic.

Professor Rhanderson and his team have a unique way of making complex concepts simple and doable. The course is very well structured and, step by step, you actually learn how to design, run, and publish a meta-analysis. On top of that, the academy offers an outstanding network, connecting you with respected physicians and researchers from all over the world, which opens doors to collaboration you simply wouldn’t have otherwise.

What really sets the program apart is the people. Professor Rhanderson himself and his team are incredibly accessible, competent, and professional. They are always available to answer questions, give feedback, and genuinely help you move forward.

Because of this training, over the last three years I’ve published more than 20 papers in reputable journals and presented at multiple scientific meetings. That kind of productivity felt impossible before joining the academy.

I recommend Meta-analysis Academy without hesitation. If you’re a medical student or resident who wants to get into research but feels lost, this program can truly take you from zero to hero.

Meta analysis academy provided the tools that I needed as a Clinical Faculty without funding, research grant, to publish meaningful research publish in high Impact Journals like diabetes care. Since I took the course, I have been a very productive researcher with several papers published in 2025, several under review and several underway.
