The course will introduce the concept of PPI, and provide basic knowledge and practical tools for involving patients and public in clinical research. The course will adopt a classroom approach with involvement of students and their research through discussions, debates, peer review and skill development. The students will be guided through central PPI topics as social values and impact of PPI for stakeholders and researchers, merits, challenges and barriers of PPI, approaches in designing and conducting PPI, ethical considerations and how to evaluate, report and disseminate PPI. To bridge the gap in understanding PPI in clinical research, worksessions will facilitate dialog among students in answering questions regarding how, who and when to conduct PPI. Finally, the students will present and discuss how they would incorporate PPI in their own research with reflection on relevant PPI considerations .
