Research Methodology (DrPH3)

Overview Course Outline

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 the 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. The Course takes a publishing-insider’s perspective and examines how trainees can improve their research writing to improve the chances that their articles will successfully pass peer review and be read and cited widely once published
