Course DESCRIPTION
The 2011 course covers the principles of clinical research, research study design, the concept of randomized trial and non-randomized studies, practical aspects of clinical trials, health statistics for surgeons, and the dissemination of clinical research results.
The course should give participants a comprehensive foundation of the present state of health research methodology by covering basic science methods, epidemiological study principals, evidence based medicine principles, outcome assessments, research ethics, and data management. The course program consists of lectures, interactive panel discussions, and small working groups in breakout sessions. Comprehension of the «language of research» is a main objective of the course, particularly for epidemiological study methodology.
Target Audience
This course is primarily aimed at clinicians and surgeons in training, particularly in orthopaedic and trauma surgery. The course should be of equal interest to researchers in various related scientific disciplines dealing with skeletal trauma problems, and to those wishing an introduction to clinical research methods. -
