Foundation/Core Training Evidence-based Medicine and Research Certificate Programme

 

This course is part of the South West London Foundation/Core Training Evidence-based Medicine and Research Certificate Programme. The programme comprises three elements. The first element is the successful completion of the “Introduction to Evidence-based Medicine” course. Candidates are then expected to apply the knowledge gained from the course to their own research. This will be supported by the second element – attendance of two statistics clinic sessions organised by the course faculty. The final element will be the provision of a copy of a completed research proposal and protocol which will lead to the award of the certificate.
