Biography
Abhaya Indrayan, PhD, has been providing research guidance to medical graduates for the past 30 years and has been conducting online courses for medical professionals around the world for 15 years.
This book provides a broad overview of research methods for medical students. It covers issues related to study design, data collection and analysis, ethical considerations, and dissemination. The book touches upon the main domains of empiric research methods. It goes beyond research primers published as articles in peer-reviewed journals. Some of the book's frameworks and terms come from the author's experiences. Most would probably find standard texts on health-related research topics, which often have overview chapters, to be a better starting point when learning research basics.
