These courses are also called "Counseling Courses." They are a mixture of both techniques and are typically applied to researchers in a personalized way or to a very small group (2 or 3 people) who are working on the same project and need to delegate some very technical activities to streamline their work.
In these cases, the following procedure provides for:
A) Lower cost (e.g. travel costs are eliminated)
B) Better use of our advisory, since in this is a more personalized case.

 

a) What is the procedure?

I) DIAGNOSIS

One of our consultants will contact you to identify your final objectives and locate both your domain of the software that you will use and other previous knowledge required. This can usually be solved in a 1-hour teleconference. The goal is to agree on where you want to begin and how far you want to go, e.g., which studies you want to analyze, publish, etc.

II) DESIGN OF THE WORK PLAN

We design a customized work plan based on the previous session.

III) IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN

We will reach out to you via Voice over the Internet and will guide you using our technological support. For example, when requested, your instructor (from our office) will take control of your mouse and show you -on your screen- how to perform the required procedures. Furthermore, when required, from your screen you can see the activity on the instructor’s screen. The dates and times of the sessions would be agreed upon.

 

NOTE: If needed, the video can be projected on a large screen to be more comfortable to facilitate observing the procedures along with your colleagues. If desired, the instructor can answer questions from your colleagues also.

 

b) What advantages do I have compared with taking a group course?

1) Better control of your budget.

2) More flexibility to define dates for the sessions, allowing:

a. Easier assimilation of knowledge than in a group course, which frequently leaves unattended questions in some of the participants.

b. The health researcher has time to contemplate and ask meaningful questions.

 

c) What is the cost of the Counseling Courses?

Our Counseling Courses cost $1,850 (*) per hour when buying at least 20 hours.

 

d) Method of payment

Except in special cases, with very short requirements (implying a lower total cost), a prepaid package of 20 hours of consulting = $37,000 (*) would be purchased and consumed according to your times and convenience. It would not have an expiration date, that is, you could take the time you need to consume the package.

 

If you need more advice later, you could purchase the 10 or 20-hour packages you consider necessary. We offer a smaller 10-hour package after the purchase of a standard 20-hour package.

 

e) Please consider

The time charged is time dedicated to you. For example, if you were to ask your instructor to perform an analysis not in line with you, the instructor would tell you how many hours would be consumed and would proceed only if you authorize it. These hours would be taken from your package.

 

The same applies to any other activity that you ask your consultant to do offline, for example, a report of results for a specific project, the writing of technical sections for an article to be published, posters for a symposium, etc.
