Academic Authorship Programme: Key issues in getting published – the study design and write-up

Learning objectives: 

After attending the Course the investigator should be familiar with the principles of study design – including the specific nuances of observational studies and randomized controlled trials.

There will be just two lectures; the rest of the day being devoted to small-group exercises with feedback to all participants following each exercise.
