Research education courses

Carenet organizes research education courses in collaboration with SLU's graduate school for veterinary medicine and animal sciences. The courses are open for animal health care personnel as well as research students. The aim is to further increase the quality of future clinical studies, and to bring together researchers and clinicians that for example undergo national or European specialization.

2021-10-11--15 Construction of trial protocols for controlled clinical trials. The overall objective of the course was to train students to plan clinical research projects with appropriate methods, and to make the students aware of how different trial protocols relate to different statistical models. Lecturer: Professor Stig Larsen, NMBU. Course leader: Malin Hagberg Gustavsson, Dept. Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health, SLU.

2019-10-16--18 How to read and write a scientific paper. The objective of the course was to teach students effective writing practices and to give them a general understanding of the basic principles for critical reading and self-critical writing. Lecturer: Professor Stig Larsen, NMBU. Course leader: Malin Hagberg Gustavsson, Dept. Clinical Sciences, SLU.

2019-05-20--24 Statistical analysis of laboratory and clinical studies. The overall objective of the course was to train students to plan and perform suitable statistical analysis of own data, and to have a general understanding of the basic principles for statistical analysis of data from clinical studies and thereby be able to evaluate results presented also in other studies. Lecturer: Professor Stig Larsen, NMBU. Course leader: Malin Hagberg Gustavsson, Dept. Clinical Sciences, SLU.

2018-03-05--09 Construction of trial protocols for controlled clinical trials. The overall objective of the course was to train students to plan clinical research projects with appropriate methods, and to make the students aware of how different trial protocols relate to different statistical models. Lecturer: Professor Stig Larsen, NMBU. Course leader: Malin Hagberg Gustavsson, Dept. Clinical Sciences, SLU.

2017-03-09--11 How to read and write a scientific paper. The objective of the course was to teach students effective writing practices and to give them a general understanding of the basic principles for critical reading and self-critical writing. Lecturer: Professor Stig Larsen, NMBU. Course leader: Malin Hagberg Gustavsson, Dept. Clinical Sciences, SLU.

2015-11-30--12-03 Implementation – how to change people’s behaviour. The focus of the course was the complex nature of implementation, potential barriers to implementing knowledge, tools that may facilitate the implementation of research results into practice, and ways to evaluate the outcome of such implementations. Course leader: Ulrika Grönlund, Dept. Clinical Sciences, SLU.

2015-05-21--23 Construction of trial protocols for controlled clinical trials. The overall objective of the course was to train students to plan clinical research projects with appropriate methods, and to make the students aware of how different trial protocols relate to different statistical models. Lecturer: Professor Stig Larsen, NMBU. Course leader: Malin Hagberg Gustavsson, Dept. Clinical Sciences, SLU.
