About the Course

Evidence forms the basis of modern medicine. Clinical research provides us with this evidence, guiding health professionals towards solutions to problems that they face in daily practice. Transferring existing problems in medical practice to a research setting is a challenging process that requires careful consideration. The practice of clinical epidemiology aims to address this through the application of established approaches for research in human populations, while at all times focussing on the problem at hand from a clinical perspective. This course teaches the principles and practice of clinical epidemiology, drawing on real problems faced by medical professionals and elaborating on existing examples of clinical research. Medical researchers will lean how to translate real clinical problems into tangible research questions for investigation, gaining insight into some of the most important considerations when designing an epidemiological study along the way. Core concepts will be introduced along four key themes: diagnosis, prognosis, treatment and etiology. Followers of this course will develop their understanding of the topics addressed through lectures from experts, peer interaction and review assignments....

This was a very helpful introduction to epidemiology. The course covers some key concepts and provides enough detail to guide further study.

The course material itself is fine - it is a great introduction to the different forms of clinical epidemiology and associated study designs. The assignments on the other hand leave a LOT to be desired. The "peer-reviewed" assignments are arbitrary and do not contribute much to learning. Additionally, due to having to wait for a peer to review my assignment, which may or may not happen and no time frame can be given, I cannot actually finish the course and receive my certificate. This is a serious issue with this course, and now I cannot complete it due to having to wait on someone else, who may never come.
