Description

On this free online course, find out how medical treatments are discovered, tested and evaluated to improve healthcare for all.

Everything we do in healthcare has to be discovered and thoroughly tested before it can be put into practice. In this course, you will explore clinical research – its challenges and its huge benefits to modern healthcare. You will work through case studies and examine how research contributes to the treatment of major diseases, such as cancer and dementia, examining the process of conducting research and the ethical questions raised. You will learn how members of a research team, academics and participants in clinical research all contribute to this process of discovery.

Our Lead Educator and Mentors will be on hand from February 7 to March 6 to support discussions and to answer your questions. If you join the course after March 6, moderators will still be checking the comments regularly to respond to your queries.

This course has been ranked as one of the best online courses of all time by online course aggregator class central.
