FORMULATION OF RESEARCH PROJECTS IN EPIDEMIOLOGY

Course Description

Research is par excellence a dynamic process of enriching the knowledge of the human being; from birth and during the first years of life we are researchers. Applied health research is one that is carried out for practical purposes in search of creative solutions to priority problems, to immediate problems, to support decision-making, to support the development of new projects and programs and to evaluate existing ones. ; to develop it, all health professionals have the required training, knowledge and analysis capacity, even more so, when from the beginning of our training we have learned an orderly method of work (which is nothing more than the use of the scientist applied to health sciences), in which we fortunately acquired the best tools for the successful performance of our work; how easy it is for us to properly use these techniques and methods of scientific research and make the contributions (the many contributions) that we can to a science that day by day requires more interactions between professionals and scientists to understand the complex processes that occur to lose balance (illness) or to maintain it (health).

Teamwork, interdisciplinary, tolerance and understanding of "the ideas" of others is shaped and achieved by opening our minds, our ideas and our thoughts, openly discussing opinions (ideally always referenced in the literature, but not exclusively ) and using the acquired knowledge and logic for a better understanding of the processes, without shouting, without disqualifications; the scientist, the technician who conducts research, almost never works alone, because the human being is enriched by interaction and explanation from different approaches provided by different disciplines and experiences.

OBJECTIVE
Know the research and methodological tools to structure or strengthen research proposals in the various fields of knowledge.
