About the course - Introduction to biomedical research methods

In this introductory course, we will discuss the basic elements to develop a clinical research project. If you are interested in starting a career in research or if you are planning to develop a study but have little experience, this course is for you!.

This course which includes 9 lectures was developed by Dr.Vivian Avelino-Silva, Infectious diseases physician & epidemiologist, scientist at Vitalant Research Institute-San Francisco, Adjunct professor, Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, University of California,USA, Adjunct professor and research collaborator at Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo, and Consultant, AIDS Healthcare Foundation Global Program.

We also highly recommend that students enrolled in the course also read and consult the textbook Designing Clinical Research. While reading the book from cover to cover before watching the lectures is the ideal approach, we indicate below the chapters that cover each of the lectures to facilitate targeted reading.
