The PharmaSchool Website provides a wide variety of free online resources to clinical researchers across the World. The resources below also support some of our In-house and Online Learning Courses.
The PharmaSchool JargonBuster is an online searchable dictionary of clinical research terms. You can either select the letter to display a list of terms or search by term.
The Centre for Evidence Based Medicine define this as "Evidence-based medicine is the conscientious, explicit and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients". EBM uses a combination of the expertise of an individual with the evidence provided through research which will include clinical trials, meta analyses as well as other sources of evidence like genetics and immunology. The prescriber needs to keep up-to-date with the latest evidence so that they can make an informed decision about treatment options. Failure to do so may result in effective treatments not being prescribed. Criticism of EBM revolves around the evaluation of medicine based on cost vs effectiveness to create a prescribing list based on financial rather than clinical interpretation.
From time to time PharmaSchool staff contribute Blogs and Articles to various journals, publications and other media. Please find below the links to some of these articles.
On our very popular Clinical Trial Designs Course and the Statistics for Non-Statisticians Course we do workshops looking into Power and Sample Size. In these Workshops we use sample size software and have had many requests to make this more widely available. Please find some of these calculators below.
