Advanced Diagnostic Research' - Three day course at Kitasato University, Shirokane campus
Instructors
Carl Moons PhD, Professor of Clinical Epidemiology, Julius Center for Health Sciences & Primary Care
Leon Bax PhD, Assistant Professor of Clinical Epidemiology, Julius Center for Health Sciences & Primary Care
Course description
Diagnostic research in the past focused particularly on estimating the sensitivity and specificity of individual diagnostic tests. This course will demonstrate that this so called ‘test research’ is not necessarily the same as diagnostic research. Furthermore, we will widen the horizon by proposing modern methods of diagnostic research and data analysis in which a patient’s test result can and should be considered in the context of other patient characteristics or test results.
Prerequisites and fee
Understanding of fundamental concepts in clinical research and experience with basic biostatistical analyses. Participation is free for participants from Kitasato University, Keio University, Juntendo University and affiliated hospitals. For more info contact us here.
