Opinion of previous students to future students - what should you know:
The following question was included in our course evaluation: What would you like to tell future students about this course (that may help them to decide whether they should take or not take this course)?
“I would like to tell them that it will be better if they have more time available to participate during the week on the website and to read all the available material”
“This is the best opportunity to start understanding, in a very proper way, the true meaning of clinical trials and its importance in our clinical practice.”
“This is a very demanding course. You should be prepared to read a lot of material and do some literature search by yourself as well. Do not rely only on the classes and make sure you have a large period to study. It is a unique opportunity to have a deep understanding of clinical research and the faculty is very distinguished”
“Even if you do want to be a full-time researcher, knowing how to read and interpret scientific papers is crucial to practice Medicine properly nowadays.
And to be honest, most of us does not like research very much because we do not know how to do it properly.That said, I see this course as a "life changing experience" for any physician.”
“It needs lots of time, do not do it if you want to spend only time on class. You have to master english spoken language to fully enjoy it. It does not necessarily request (but its better) a previous deep knowledge of the subject –especially if you have time to study during the course. The staff is really good and will do anything to help you, if you dedicate to the course.”
“A future student will profit specially if he/she has experience on research”
“It helped me to have a good understanding of statistical analysis and acquire know how to write an article to a high impact journal.”
"Harvard Professors are really good. I was convinced these other methods of [clinical trial] design are important, feasible and reliable."
"I feel that I have learnt everything that was proposed - great experience, very interesting method!"
"The course has turned out to be a very enriching experience in terms of improving skills, but also provided a fruitful opportunity for interaction with Brazilian colleagues from other medical areas or institutions, as well as with Harvard Faculty and fellow students from other countries"
"This is a great opportunity of improving your scientific career. I suggest you try to relate every topic to a possible application in your field from the beginning, so that you keep the highest level of interest and dedication."
"Fantastic! It has changed dramatically the way I see research and my future research plans."
"This has been the best course I have ever taken because it combines excellent didactic tools with speakers who are leaders in the field and a competent support team. It intensively stimulates students interaction what considerably improves the learning curve."
"Very good course !! I would definitely recommend it to everyone interested in clinical research."
