3. Perform a sample size/power calculation
4. Describe different study designs in medical research
5. Build a scientific database and disseminate scientific results


Knowledge: The students will understand the rationale behind formulation of a good scientific hypothesis. They will gain knowledge about study designs in medical research. They will be able to judge the scientific merit of research projects and to point out weaknesses in their own projects. Through discussion they will gain knowledge about recruiting and retaining study subjects and perform an electronic GCP training.

Skills: The students will be able to explain the design and rationale of their own project and of other research projects. They will be able to analyse and discuss their own project in the context of the obtained knowledge about medical research methodology.
