Course reminder
Critical appraisal of
medical research (2.0 ECTS) for doctoral students and other researchers
In this course, we present different study designs in medicine and different gold standard methods to evaluate study quality. The purpose of this training is
to help participants to evaluate research and its quality to support their own research work.
Course will include 18 hours of lectures and 14 hours of guided group work sessions (7 x 2 hours) where we are reading articles or studies and practice critical
evaluation of the studies.
Teachers: Jani Ruotsalainen (JR), Jos Verbeek (JS), Nina Rautio (NR)
