School of Population & Public Health offers a range of courses in epidemiology <strong>and</strong><br />
healthcare; with several directly relevant to <strong>Clinical</strong> <strong>Trials</strong> management <strong>and</strong> <strong>Clinical</strong> <strong>Trials</strong><br />
operations. Its main teaching focus is graduate education in areas ranging from public<br />
health to health policy.<br />
Academic programs <strong>and</strong> attainments include :<br />
• MHA Master of Health Administration<br />
• MHSc Master of Health Science<br />
• MPH Master of Public Health<br />
• MSc Master of Science<br />
• PhD Doctor of Philosophy<br />
• Community Medicine Residency.<br />
Masters Courses relevant to <strong>Clinical</strong> <strong>Trials</strong> training include:<br />
• The Design <strong>and</strong> Analysis of <strong>Clinical</strong> <strong>Trials</strong>.<br />
Ethical considerations, intention-to-treat versus efficacy trials, principles of sampling <strong>and</strong><br />
exclusion, methods of allocation <strong>and</strong> techniques of r<strong>and</strong>omization, parallel versus cross<br />
over design, monitoring treatment outcomes, adverse effects, stopping rules, analytic<br />
techniques <strong>and</strong> data interpretation, <strong>and</strong> logistical issues in the management of clinical<br />
trials.<br />
• <strong>Clinical</strong> Epidemiology.<br />
Principles <strong>and</strong> methods of epidemiology are applied to clinical problems. Evaluation <strong>and</strong><br />
design of laboratory <strong>and</strong> clinical tests <strong>and</strong> of therapeutic interventions.<br />
• <strong>Clinical</strong> Decision Analysis.<br />
Methodology in <strong>and</strong> applicability of clinical decision analysis. Applications in problem<br />
solving (screening or prevention program assessment, test of treatment trade-offs, interpreting<br />
uncertain clinical data etc). Techniques include decision tree design, sub-trees,<br />
marker models, sensitivity analysis, Monte Carlo simulation, threshold analysis, utility<br />
assessment including the DEALE.<br />
• <strong>Clinical</strong> Research Methods for Surgical Procedures.<br />
The application of r<strong>and</strong>omized trial methods in surgical disciplines <strong>and</strong> specifically to<br />
surgical procedures has been increasing. The purpose of this course is to explore the use of<br />
r<strong>and</strong>omized trials in surgery.<br />
