Hi. Welcome to the program in evidence based health care.

2
00:00:06,290 --> 00:00:13,610
My name is Carl Hennigan. I'm director of the Centre for Evidence based Medicine and director of the programs in evidence based Health Care.

3
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:20,649
This is a joint program between the Department of Continuing Education and the Centre for Evidence based Medicine,

4
00:00:20,650 --> 00:00:24,970
which is housed at the Department of Primary Care Health Sciences at the University of Oxford.

5
00:00:26,380 --> 00:00:31,450
This program is designed for those working in practice from a diverse range of backgrounds.

6
00:00:32,020 --> 00:00:36,490
We've had people who are nurses, we've had doctors, we've had vets who've come on the program.

7
00:00:37,450 --> 00:00:40,959
It's all designed for those to think about how we want to change, practice,

8
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:45,190
influence, practice, learn more about the methods of evidence based health care.

9
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:54,220
Each module is designed with a one week resident course here in Oxford and then an online course of eight weeks.

10
00:00:55,240 --> 00:01:02,500
Students come in small groups ranging from 16, sometimes two modules of 24 hour teachers,

11
00:01:02,650 --> 00:01:11,200
brought from a diverse background from the fields of stats, qualitative methods, epidemiology and mixed methods.

12
00:01:11,620 --> 00:01:19,990
We have a range of modules that you can take, and they're all designed for you to become skilled, to deliver change in practice.

13
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:27,850
You know, we have two compulsory modules which are one is a practice of evidence based medicine, learning how to look at research.

14
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,840
And then second introduction to study, design and research methods.

15
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,150
How am I actually going to do the research?

16
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:41,920
You then have a whole range of optional modules that you'll be able to discuss with your pre dissertation supervisor to think through.

17
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,850
What are the best modules that will allow me to do a high quality dissertation?

18
00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:52,540
Many of our dissertations then go on to be published there of lead in quality.

19
00:01:52,540 --> 00:01:59,680
That means they're actually thinking about projects in practice, in health care that will change the way health care is seen.

20
00:02:00,130 --> 00:02:07,630
Some of our students actually go on to do a dphil with us. That's an extended course, which can be done while you still remain in your setting.

21
00:02:08,740 --> 00:02:13,180
But I like to say it's the unique atmosphere and experience of Oxford allows

22
00:02:13,180 --> 00:02:17,440
you to mix with people of similar and diverse backgrounds to learn from then,

23
00:02:17,860 --> 00:02:25,660
but to also learn from our tutors and to realise your full potential to take forward your skills into the future.

24
00:02:26,140 --> 00:02:30,670
Many of our students have gone on to have some really high quality careers.

25
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:36,850
They've used the skills they've learnt here to go forward into their future careers.

26
00:02:37,420 --> 00:02:42,730
I look forward to meeting you at some point in the course. And please let us know if you've got any issues.

27
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,130
Many things calm, Hennigan.
