Overview
Welcome to the CSJB Research Week (CSJB-RW), an exciting event dedicated to celebrating and advancing research among medical students at Jeffrey Cheah School of Medicine and Health Sciences (Year 1-5). Our goal is to foster a vibrant research community, encouraging the exchange of ideas and disseminating research findings.
As an annual tradition, the CSJB-RW is integral to Jeffrey Cheah School of Medicine and Health Sciences' commitment to supporting research activities. Now in its eleventh year, this event provides a valuable platform for medical students to showcase their research projects and engage in critical discussions. It offers them the opportunity to develop crucial presentation skills while promoting their research outputs and sharing innovative ideas.
We are thrilled to announce that this year's CSJB-RW will return to its pre-pandemic format. The program will take place at the Clinical School Johor Bahru, allowing for more meaningful interactions and networking opportunities. This shift back to face-to-face engagement will enhance the overall experience for participants and foster a deeper sense of connection within the research community.
Join us at the CSJB Research Week as we celebrate the achievements of our talented medical students and embrace the power of research to transform healthcare. Mark your calendars and get ready for an enriching and inspiring event at the Clinical School Johor Bahru.

The competition is open to all JCSMHS Year 1–5 medical undergraduates, supervised by one or more academic staff from the School. To be considered, students are invited to submit abstracts for the following categories:
Category A ― Primary Research (Completed)
- Research project inclusive of results/findings
Category B ― Review (Completed)
- Only completed reviews in the form of scoping reviews, systematic reviews or meta-analysis are allowed.
- Narrative reviews without systematic methodology will not be permitted.
Category C ― Research proposal
- Presentation of a research proposal or an ongoing project with preliminary results
- Systematic review protocols registered with registries such as PROSPERO will also be considered.
Participation in the CSJB Research Week involves two essential components that showcase the participants' research endeavours. Firstly, all participants will be required to present their research findings through an on-site poster presentation. These presentations will be scheduled during specific time slots between 1 and 4 August 2023. A panel of esteemed judges will evaluate the posters and provide valuable feedback.
Based on the performance in the poster round, a group of finalists will be shortlisted. These exceptional participants will then have the opportunity further to demonstrate their research prowess through an oral presentation. The on-site oral presentations will take place on 18 August 2023. Each finalist will present on the same topic covered in their poster presentation, allowing for an in-depth exploration of their research.
This two-step evaluation process ensures a comprehensive assessment of participants' research projects, enabling them to receive recognition for their outstanding work.
Don't miss the chance to engage with esteemed judges and share your research journey during the CSJB Research Week. Not only will the winners receive well-deserved recognition for their hard work and dedication, but they will also be awarded cash prizes as a token of appreciation.
