Two New Courses Receive SGS Approval

The following two courses have recently received approval by the School of Graduate Studies.

HAD 5309H - Non-Experimental Design for the Clinical Researcher
Instructor: G. Hawker

This course is designed to instruct health care providers who already have some background in general epidemiologic principles and methods in the design, conduct and analysis of cross-sectional, cohort and case-control studies.

HAD 5310H - Pragmatic Issues in RCT's Course
Instructors: M. Hannah, S. Ross

To prepare students for the hurdles that are frequently encountered in RCTs. Using the philosophy of 'if it can go wrong, it will go wrong', the goal will be to anticipate and thus prevent problems during the conduct of RCTs, and to learn to cope with unanticipated problems without jeopardizing the success of the study. The principal focus of the course will be on multicentre RCTs and the discussion will be centered on practical problems and practical solutions, using real examples.
