Getting to Grips with Evidence Based Dermatology 2012When: Wednesday 25th January to Friday 27th January 2012Where: University of Nottingham Download the registration form here Download the programme here This popular course is now in its 16th year The aims of the course are to a) improve your skills at critical appraisal when reading dermatological literature and b) improve your ability to design and participate in clinical research projects. The course uses the principles of epidemiology and statistics such as chance, bias and confounding to provide a framework to achieve these aims. The main taught elements of dermato-epidemiology and statistics are part of the UK specialist trainee curriculum (see the BAD website). The course may also appeal to consultants who wish to improve their skills at critically appraising published clinical trials and also statistics in general. Overseas dermatology trainees are always welcome, including those from a veterinary background. The course is taught by Professor Hywel Williams in collaboration with epidemiologists and statisticians from the University of Nottingham. Dermatological examples are used to illustrate concepts throughout the course. It is a 3 day course which is hard work, but good fun. The course costs £350, and there is a maximum of 24 places in order to ensure that groups are kept to a sensible size. Full Royal College of Physicians CPD approval. Up to two bursaries for colleagues training at the Regional Dermatology Centre in Tanzania are usually available to attend this course.
