Web-based Research Training in KP Learn
This web-based, self-taught course is a set of targeted educational lessons that helps providers and medical professionals understand the basics of planning for and conducting effective clinical research. This program provides the learner with a strong foundation in research principles and the application of those principles in designing and conducting research. It also teaches basic statistical knowledge needed to understand the design and conduct of a research protocol and different methods to analyze the results. We highly recommend that all students take both the Introduction to Research and Research Statistics courses (see instructions below for accessing the courses in KP Learn).
