This course is one of the elective classes of school of public health. The number of students who attend this class is approximately twenty-five, which nearly equals to that of a compulsory subject. Although this class is the first lesson on Friday, generally the students attend this class very actively. Backgrounds of the attending students are diverse: from physicians, nurses, pharmacists to graduates from department of arts. We address bibliographical search and assessment method in the Basic Skills for Public Health Research I and study design in the Basic Skills for Public Health ResearchII. We emphasize understanding EBM(Evidence-Based Medicine)in the both of courses.
