Aim and content
This course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School), and for PhD Students from NorDoc member universities. 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 NorDoc member universities. 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. Better understand fundamental principles of designing, registering and reporting of clinical research.
2. Better plan clinical research, including design, registration and reporting.
3. Better reflect on how others have planned, conducted and reported clinical research.


Content
The course is an introduction to clinical research in health and medical sciences, covering the levels of evidence from prospective cohort studies, over randomized controlled trials, to systematic reviews with meta-analyses. The topics include research questions, study designs, statistical considerations, sample size calculations, outcome selection, intervention design, research registration, sampling, blinding and reporting of research. Most topics in the PREPARE and REPORT trial guides will be covered and many of the authors will lecture on the course (link to open access papers): https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/bjsports/51/20/1494.full.pdf and https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/bjsports/early/2022/02/21/bjsports-2021-105058.full.pdf
