Course description
The main objective is to give the participants an understanding of basic principles in clinical research and make participants able to plan and conduct research projects and analyse the data critically. The course give insight into various approaches of experimental design including concepts like appropriate number of animals, proper control, applicable design types and good clinical practice. Methodological analysis of the participants research problems associated with their own research projects will give an understanding of the logic of argumentation in clinical research.
Another objective is to create an intellectual environment where PhD- students in sub disciplines in veterinary clinical field meet. In this context, the PhD-students will have the opportunity to outline their own research problems to each other and discuss them with specialists in the field.
