Aim and content This course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School), and for PhD students at graduate schools in the other Nordic countries. All other participants must pay the course fee. Anyone can apply for the course, but if you are not a PhD student at a Danish university, you will be placed on the waiting list until enrollment deadline. This also applies to PhD students from Nordic countries. After the enrollment deadline, available seats will be allocated to applicants on the waiting list. Learning objectives A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to: 1. Understand the design of Randomized clinical trials in Surgery and identify crucial points in design selection 2. Gain in depth insight into how to perform patient selection when designing an RCT within the surgical field 3. Understand the variation in designs depending on the use of translational methodologies or proxies for clinical outcomes 4. Use patient reported outcomes (PRO) in RCT’s 5. Get a thorough understanding of the use of generic or disease specific PROs. Content In this PhD course, the focus will be to provide the PhD student with interest in study methodology in surgical and anesthetis trials and a deep understanding of some of the crucial aspects in the Randomized Clinical Trial. There will be thorough presentations from leading national and international experts on topics regarding patient selection and patient reported outcomes. The first day will have focus on aspects concerning selection of patients while the second day on PRO's. The presenters will all be active senior researchers with long time experience within performing clinical research, and in addition we will also have patient representation. Before the course, the PhD students will send an abstract of their current PhD study protocol and during the two days the student will be both joining the plenary presentations and participate actively in group work with subsequent plenary presentations from some of the students. All this will be while having access to the course teachers and presenters. Before the course, the students will be provided with essential reading material and they will join a pre-course online meeting in order to have the optimal preperation and insight into the course specifics. The curriculum will be based on surgical and anesthesiological literature covering several fileds within the surgical speciality and anesthesiology. Participants The targeted group of this course is PhD students that are involved in research in the perioperative period including anesthesia and surgery and other PhD students with special interest in clinical research methodologies. A major emphasis is placed on understanding the aspects of designing randomized clinical trials with the subtopics of patient selection and PRO's.
