Looking for flexible postgraduate courses to apply research evidence to improve clinical practice?
The University of Oxford offers the following three 8-week courses in evidence-based health care. The first week of each course is spent working on introductory activities using a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE); the second week is spent in Oxford for the face to face teaching week (this takes place on the dates noted below); there are then four weeks of Post-Oxford activities (delivered through the VLE) which are designed to help you write your assignment. Assignments are submitted electronically during week 8 (if taking the course for academic credit).
