This modular programme is particularly suitable for academically gifted medical and dental trainees with the potential to be the independent researchers of the future.

Our Student Spotlights feature students' experiences both on and after their courses, and highlight the day-to-day life of study on the Evidence-Based Healthcare programmes.

Course aims

At the end of the course students will be able to:

• demonstrate a knowledge of the principles, methods and techniques appropriate for solving evidence-based health care/health-research problems and be able to translate (through a critical comprehension of the relative advantages and disadvantages) that understanding into good clinical practice
• demonstrate a range of research skills enabling them to complete research successfully, either as part of a research team or as an individual
• acquire, interpret and analyse biological information with a critical understanding of the appropriate contexts for their use through the study of the existing primary literature in the field
• apply skills and expertise gained across the medical and biological sciences expected of professional researchers
