Clinical Research Methodology

I will be teaching Clinical Research Methodology (MEDB 5510) for the Spring semester, 2019. The materials for this class are available on Canvas to UMKC students, but I am sharing some material here as well. If you are enrolled in this class, please go to the Canvas site. I am making some of the resources available here on my blog as an unofficial resource for anyone who is not enrolled.

This class is taught in an online format. You will listen to numerous video recordings (see below) and participate on various discussion forumsĀ  on Canvas.

I may revise some of the recordings, but here is the list from the last time this course was taught.
