Oxford University expands evidence-based methods courses for health care professionals

General

Oxford University is today launching two new Masters’ degrees in Evidence Based Health Care as part of its continuing professional development programme to enable health care professionals worldwide to base their clinical decisions on valid, reliable and relevant evidence.

The two new courses focus specifically on medical statistics and systematic reviews within the wider context of evidence based health care, and aim to provide health care professionals with the tools to analyse data from clinical research, summarise it, and apply the evidence to their own clinical settings, as well as take the first steps in conducting their own research projects.

Offered as a series of part-time courses by the University’s Department of Continuing Education, the programme works in collaboration with Oxford University’s globally renowned Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine in the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences.
