RESEARCH TRAINING

The Graduate School of Health handles the basic module "Research Training – Module I" which is a mandatory part of the research training programme for doctors enrolled in medical specialist training (speciallægeuddannelsen) in the North Denmark Region.

In addition, Aarhus University has created an advanced studies course in research training ("Research Training - Module II"). The course addresses doctors enrolled in a study programme who have completed the basis module “Research Training - Module I”, and to whom no independent advanced studies course is available. This course is also handled by the Graduate School of Health.

Research Training Module I (basic)

Information about Research Training Module I

The basic module “Research Training – module I” covers research questions, evidence scores and literature search, among other things. This is carried out through “journal clubs” where the clinical consequence of the research is being assessed.
