The SUMMER SCHOOL mainly focuses on the second and third step of the TM cycle.
The program helps students to become critical consumers of medical research papers, to gather primary data on health issues through questioning and observation, and to conduct biomedical research. Students will gain an understanding of the planning of clinical research, including systematic reviews, patient registries and clinical trials, by designing an extended project in study groups, which are led by experienced members of the TM Centre.

TARGET AUDIENCE

• Degree/ studies in health sciences (Candidate, BSc, MSc, MD, DMD, etc.) is preferred.
• Good english communication skills are recommended (minimum B2 level, see details here).
