Critical Reading

A monthly online seminar is held regarding social medicine, epidemiology, and clinical epidemiology research. Its purpose is not simply to share the latest research outcomes, but to critically examine and evaluate papers, and think about how they can be applied to actual practice and what kind of research should be conducted in the future.

Students and those who want to start epidemiological or clinical research will learn a lot just by joining a seminar. We also welcome anyone who would like to present a paper of interest on hand or ask about methodology and interpretation of epidemiological research.
