Description

In this optional module, students will be introduced to the fundamental principles of clinical studies, with emphasis on clinical trials rather than observational studies. Clinical trials are essential to discovering whether new healthcare interventions improve outcomes for patients and the public. Students will be guided through the design, conduct, analysis and reporting of clinical trials and the common sub-studies often added to clinical trials (e.g. health economics). Students will also be introduced to systematic reviews and meta-analyses and the important role they play in answering clinical research questions. A session of the course will be dedicated to the role patients and consumers can play in clinical trial design, conduct and reporting.
