Graduate Certificate in Clinical Epidemiology

The Graduate Certificate in Clinical Epidemiology is a flexible fully online degree with optional face-to-face components for clinicians and clinical researchers to learn the skills needed to generate high quality clinical research, and to find, interpret, and evaluate research evidence to improve patient care outcomes.Designed for busy professionals, this course is delivered in a flexible format with face-to-face, online or block-mode delivery options available.Throughout this degree, you will learn how to integrate theory into your day-to-day work as you develop the research skills required by many clinical training positions.Our courses are designed to meet the needs of both the ‘users’ of clinical epidemiology (those who want their clinical decision-making to be based on the best available evidence), and the ‘doers’ of clinical epidemiology (those who want to learn the skills required to do high quality clinical research).
