Clinical Epidemiology

In clinical epidemiology, research is focused on clinically relevant questions of diagnosis, prognosis, treatment and etiology. To address these questions, several classical and more advanced research options are available, including randomized trials, prospective cohort and case-control studies, as well as observational studies applying data obtained in a routine clinical setting. Students will learn how they can phrase clinically relevant research questions, translate these into “doable” efficient research designs, perform the data-analysis and report the results in such a way that the findings can be applied in daily clinical practice.

Courses include, among others:

• Clinical Epidemiology
• Clinical Trials and Drug Risk Assessment
• Systematic Reviews in Intervention Research
