Symposed

Your first publication starts here.

Symposed matches students and clinicians with real audits, reviews, case reports and posters. Beginner-friendly projects come first, so you don't need experience to get experience.

How it works

  1. Build your profile

    Say who you are, what you're interested in, and how much time you have. Verify a university or health-service email for a trust badge.

  2. Apply to a project

    Filter by specialty, type and experience level. A capped number of applications per week keeps every application meaningful.

  3. Deliver and be cited

    Do the work, collect a review from your supervisor, and carry a verified track record into your next application.
