Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This exercise is intended to impart basic skills for critical assessment of the quality and relevance of scientific literature.
The content of the course consists of:

-) Literature research using scientific databases (Pubmed, etc.)
-) Critical assessment of scientific literature based on given criteria
-) Presentation including evaluation of study results

The introductory meeting for this exercise will take place at the beginning of the semester (March 7th, 2024, 6:30-7.15 p.m.) in lecture hall 5. For detailed information please refer to the Moodle course of the same name! This course exercise will be held in a hybrid mode (digital and face-to-face teaching).

Assessment and permitted materials

This lecture exercise has an intrinsic examination character, so permanent attendance is necessary. Within the small groups, studies are assessed according to specified criteria and clinical questions are answered with the help of these. At the end of the exercise there is a final test on the subject of “Critical Evaluation of a Clinical Study”.

Permitted tools in the exam is an English dictionary in hard copy!

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Minimum requirements for a positive assessment:

- Attendance (100%) throughout the exercise
- positive completion of the entrance examination or lecture examination "Introduction to Evidence-Based Pharmacy"
- Preparation of a study issued by the course leader according to the specified aspects
- Answering a clinical question with independent literature search including presentation (50% of the overall grade)
- Final test: Interpretation of a clinical study to prove the knowledge acquired (50% of the overall grade)

Each partial performance must be completed positively.

The UE Interpretation of Clinical Studies is offered alongside the course “Introduction to Evidence-Based Pharmacy”. Therefore, by the beginning of the practice days, beginning on 22.04.2024, you need either a positive conclusion on the lecture "Introduction to Evidence-Based Pharmacy" or a positive assessment of the initial examination (examination material: content of the lecture "Introduction to Evidence-Based Pharmacy"). If neither the lecture examination nor the entrance examination is taken or assessed as “insufficient”, the entire course “Interpretation of Clinical Studies” will be rated negatively.
