Clinical Research Foundations

Goal

• Give you the recipe so that you can develop the academic writing style fast and with ease.
• Provide you with a framework on how to tell a convincing scientific story so that you can win the reviewers over. 
• Help you understand how the research publication works so that you can increase your chance of paper acceptance
• Provide you with my efficient writing system and ways to overcome writing obstacles.

Who is this for?

• People who want to have an intuitive understanding of statistical methods, so that they can read and understand research papers and the results
• Clinicians who want to start their own research projects and have a meaningful discussion when designing statistical plans with the statistician

Who this is NOT for?

• You are in the non-medical field or if you conduct basic science research. I practice medicine and conduct clinical/ epidemiological research. So, I will not know the nuances outside of the medical field.
• You expect results without putting in the time or effort

At the end of the course, you will:

• Understand all the common key terms seen in clinical research papers
• Understand different study designs and how to match your research question to the right study design. 
• Generate research ideas that aligns with your interest and develop a research question
• Plan projects efficiently by getting your ducks in a row (Identifying resources, IRB, research protocol, planning for delays, etc..)

Approach

• Short video lessons (~5-15 min) with accompanying worksheets to help solidify the concepts.
• Plenty of examples from real research papers
• Quizzes to test your understanding
