CITs (Continuous Internal Trainings)

As a Healthcare Students’ Association of Armenia, we are dedicated to the continuous professional development of our members. To this end, we implemented CITs a series of monthly workshops designed to enhance participants' skills in healthcare-related areas and soft skills essential for both their work within BIL Armenia and their future professional careers. Our first training session, held on March 9, 2024, focused on "Conflict Resolution: From Biological Origins to Current Perspectives." The training was a resounding success, with nearly 40 participants actively engaging in discussions and activities.

Many of our training sessions are open to anyone interested in participating. This inclusivity reflects our commitment to skills sharing and peer-to-peer education. Through CITs, we create a supportive learning environment where participants can acquire new skills, exchange ideas, and network with peers and experts in their field.

Research projects

"OncoChat" - Clinical decision making by ChatGPT vs medical oncologists: A retrospective concordance study. This research explores the application of AI language models in clinical decision-making within the context of oncology, focusing on the concordance between AI-generated recommendations and actual treatment decisions made by physicians. Our team was engaged as investigators in this research, working with patients' data and ChatGPT.

"Quality of Life of Patients after Chemotherapy" - A research program by professionals from the Yeolyan Hematology and Oncology Center, where our members participated in finding out how different chemotherapy treatments affect the quality of patients' lives.

"Nivolumab as alternative treatment" - Single-Center Experience of Nivolumab Use for Refractory/Relapsed Lymphome Patients in Limited Resources Area. The primary aim of this retrospective study was to analyze data of patients with r/r HL and non-HL managed with nivolumab in Yeolyan Hematology and Oncology Center.

"Road Mapping" - The objective of this research was to identify potentially hazardous locations for pedestrians through an audit of roads in Yerevan. Our members aided in pinpointing risks for pedestrians by surveying the roadways, midblocks, and intersections from the Kentron area of Yerevan. The project was led by Dr. Sharon Chekijian M.D., MPH, associate professor of Emergency Medicine at Yale University, and Emily Terian, Emergency Medicine Resident at the University of Chicago. Our project also represented a collaborative effort to enhance road safety in Armenia, by leveraging international contributions from both Yerevan and the United States.

"BCG Therapy Quest" - This project aimed to raise bladder cancer awareness, gather local statistics, assess screening methods, and compare standard treatments with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy. Through collaboration with healthcare institutions, it strived to enhance public awareness, empower individuals to prioritize preventive measures, and improve treatment strategies, potentially transforming the lives of patients and contributing to a healthier society.

"Prospective Drug Research " - The research organized by professionals from the National Cetner of Oncology seeked to conduct a comprehensive comparative effectiveness analysis of various treatment modalities for lung cancer, aiming to identify the most efficacious and well-tolerated therapeutic approaches, tailored to fit the best for Armenian population. By systematically evaluating the outcomes associated with each treatment modality, this study aims to provide evidence-based recommendations for treatment selection and personalized therapeutic strategies. The findings of this research have the potential to assist the process of guideline development.

"Cancer risk awareness" - Cancer Risk Awareness was research organized and conducted by BIL Armenia, where over 400 members of Armenian population were asked 10 questions about various cancer risk factors. While gathering the data, we were also giving the correct answers to all questions, making this project not only research, but also an awareness raising opportunity. The results of the research will help determine the week points of risk awareness, therefor be a guide in future awareness raising projects.
