Blended Learning Introduction to Clinical Studies
The Blended Learning Introduction to Clinical Studies (BLICS) was created with the aim of transmitting basic knowledge in the area of Research Methodology and Biostatistics to Health Professionals and Students in a b-learning environment. In fact, despite the growing interest in clinical research, there is a frequent need for methodological and statistical skills. In this sense, BLICS is not only a tool to fill these gaps, but also to motivate students to publish more and to pay more attention to research issues.
