I want to thank NMVS Research Academy for initiating this mentor-mentee program. Research knowledge is minimal among health professionals in developing countries like Nepal. I hope that through this program, many health professionals will have an opportunity to enhance their research skills and make a significant difference in Nepal's health system. I believe, through this program, you will be able to conduct research that contributes to and brings positive changes in the well-being of Nepalese people. I would be happy to support interested mentees and I wish all the best to all the mentees of this program.

In today's era where every day new innovations and modalities of care are discovered, research has been a critical component of medical and allied sciences. Evidence-based practice is of utmost importance to provide the best possible care to the patients and research is inevitable to generate evidence and translate them into clinical practice and education. NMVS can be a benchmark for early career researchers, students, clinical practitioners, educators, mentors, and mentees to learn and work collaboratively, effectively, and efficiently. I wholeheartedly welcome all the mentees and extend my best wishes to grasp as much knowledge as you could through this platform. I further expect you to contribute a small part you have learned in your field of study, patient care, and clinical practice. Best regards.
