Research Methodology
Description
The production of medical and health research in the region is deficient compared to other regions. Some of the health professionals do not have capacity to conduct research. This is partially due to the teaching methods of research in the schools. To do research, trainees need more practical and applied teaching methods. Thus, this course takes a practical skills-based approach and deals with the challenges facing new and inexperienced authors in a chronological fashion. It will take participants step-by-step through the process of conducting research and writing research articles and getting them published in the best journals.

- Design and conduct unbiased and efficient health research studies, through avoiding common problems and pitfalls.
- Interpret and criticize research articles in medical literature.
