PhD-course: Clinical Research in Health and Medical Sciences
People from PMR-C are course leaders and lecturers on an annual PhD-course in clinical research methodology.
Content
The course is an introduction to clinical research in health and medical
sciences, covering the levels of evidence from prospective cohort studies, over
randomized controlled trials, to systematic reviews with meta-analyses. The
topics include research questions, study designs, statistical considerations,
sample size calculations, outcome selection, intervention design, research
registration, sampling, blinding and reporting of research. Most topics in the
PREPARE and REPORT trial guides will be covered and many of the authors will
lecture on the course: Preparing for what the reporting checklists will not tell you: the PREPARE Trial guide for planning clinical research to avoid research waste and Writing up your clinical trial report for a scientific journal: the REPORT trial guide for effective and transparent research reporting without spin
