COURSE OVERVIEW:
The online course runs over 5 days and combines lectures on theoretical concepts, discussions, case study exercises, interactive group work and hands-on computer sessions. Practical applications using real world case examples address health interventions from different health technologies and different disease areas. On day 3, participants have an extended break during the afternoon to review course materials, use office hours for questions or consulting for their own research work, catch up on emails, or energize themselves while relaxing. They reconvene on Thursday morning for the next session.
The course is scheduled from 9am to 5pm. The course won't be recorded.
