A modern researcher's toolbox: from methods to manuscripts
During this course, participants will in the first part develop a solid foundation of applied principles and methods of epidemiology; use these to evaluate relevant clinical and public health questions; and refine their ability to critically analyze the epidemiologic, clinical, and public health literature. In the second part, participants will learn about paper and proposal writing, writing styles and the editorial process. The format will include lectures, group exercises, and seminars. It is possible to book part 1 and 2 separately.
