Overview
What you will study
This Essentials of Clinical Trials course offered by London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine will cover the key issues in design, conduct, analysis and reporting, with a focus on major clinical trials that directly influence clinical practice. Topics are addressed with perspectives from both public sector research and the pharmaceutical industry.
In addition to the formal teaching sessions, we will run two optional drop-in sessions on Wednesday and Thursday afternoon. Participants will be able to discuss specific questions about their own research with a member of staff from the Medical Statistics Department or the Clinical Trials Unit. We will provide forms for you to submit your questions ahead of the drop-in sessions.
