Meet the course creator
Dr. Gonzalo Mariscal Ruiz-Rico
Doctor of Medicine
I have reached some milestones that reflect my commitment to scientific research:
- Receive the Young European Investigator Award.
- To be recognized as the second most productive author in orthopedic surgery in Spain during the period 2023–2024.
- Present more than 100 scientific papers at national and international congresses.
- To be invited by scientific societies to give presentations on research and meta-analysis.
Why do I teach this?
When I was studying medicine, I didn't want to limit myself to memorizing notes. I wanted understand, investigate, and contribute something new. A teacher encouraged me to take my first steps on my own and that was when I discovered the meta-analysisa methodology that allowed me to develop research with real impact, even without having large resources.
That discovery changed the course of my career. Since then, I have guided other professionals in developing their ideas, publishing their work in scientific journals, and accessing new academic and professional opportunities. Now I want to pass all that learning on to you so that you can too turn an idea into solid, publishable research.
