This course aims to help introduce healthcare professionals and students who are new to research to the concepts, process and resources required to conduct good and ethical research.
The course was first developed in 2014 by a team of lecturers from the Department of Primary Care Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of Malaya (UM) under the HeRO (Health Research Online) initiative. This initiative recognises the need to provide research training for busy healthcare professionals that is readily accessible, tailored to the healthcare context, and pitched at an introductory level.
Live chat session
This course is administrator led and live chat sessions will also be conducted whereby teachers will be present in the course to answer your questions in real-time on the course topics. There will be three live sessions throughout the 6-week course and each session is one hour.
