Clinical Trials (Distance Learning)

Overview

The need for rigorous evaluation of components of health care is increasingly recognised worldwide. An important type of evaluation is the randomised controlled clinical trial. 

The Clinical Trials (Distance Learning) programme at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine  will give students an understanding of trials which will equip them to work in this increasingly important field. 

The programme is suitable both for those wishing to gain an overall understanding of trials before moving into the field, and those who have general or specialist experience in clinical trials and aim to broaden their role in the design, management, analysis and reporting of clinical trials in low-, middle- and high-income countries.

Blended learning: taking modules in London

After successful completion of a minimum number of core modules, PG Diploma and MSc students may also be eligible for the blended learning option, which allows for the study of up to two modules only (from a restricted list) at LSHTM in London during the Spring or Summer terms in place of distance learning modules. Please note that these options, and the dates when the modules are held at LSHTM, are subject to change - full details will be sent to all distance learning students in July each year.
