Foundations of Research in year 2 will be expanding on the foundations laid from the first year. This course will cover a wide range of topics, including advanced research methodologies on how to implement the knowledge acquired in year-one to a real-world clinical research setting. Students will be exposed to Journal Clubs, Small Group Learning, and Case based learning. The curriculum will also include advanced lessons on how to implement clinical research study designs, writing research proposals, and study protocols which will eventually lead to manuscripts. Students will engage in projects that involve retrospective, prospective, and meta-analyses, including data collection and management. This comprehensive approach is intended to boost the understanding of the research processes relevant to their medical career.
