Introduction

Research is a process that must be integrated into our clinical practice, and its main purpose is to increase scientific knowledge in society in general and among health professionals. To correctly disseminate research findings, data must be carefully collected and analysed.

Pre-course requirements

Basic knowledge of biostatistics is required.

Objectives

To provide training and tools for the students to perform statistical analysis of research and learn how to interpret and communicate their results.
