These discoveries can come from clinical trials, evidence-based medicine, and patient-centred research, where you will analyse, deduce, and conduct your research from your findings. Blending theoretical learning and practical experience, it's an apt choice for anyone who wishes to become an independent clinical investigator or seek leadership positions in clinical research teams.
