This certificate programme comprises around 450 hours of work and will earn you 15 ECTS credits over a two-year period. Modules are offered every 1 to 3 months. We have divided the instructional programme into fundamentals and foregrounded the acquisition of methods and concepts, supplementing them with electives to add breadth and depth.
The course consists of:
- 8 compulsory modules
- 2 elective modules, chosen from 3 options: Introduction to Qualitative Health Research; Patient Partnership in Clinical Care, Research and Guidelines Development; Integrating Sex and Gender Perspectives in Clinical Research
Each 3-day module (1.5 ECTS) explores one theme through lectures and practical assignments. Your will learn about the state of current research though concrete examples that you discuss and work through together, benefitting from the know-how and experiences of a diverse group of peers. Via the process of applying peer group knowledge directly to examples, cases, and exercises, you will learn to link scientific knowledge to your personal experience.
Together with the “CAS in Leadership” and the “CAS in Managing Medicine“, the CAS in Clinical Research in Health Care Organizations leads to the “Master of Advanced Studies in Leading Learning Health Care Organizations, University of Bern” (MAS LLHCO UniBe).
