The Knowledgecenter Measurement Instruments and the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics of the VU University Medical Center organize a 3-day course in Clinimetrics. This course is developed for PhD students and researchers in the field of medicine, psychology, and heath sciences, and deals with development, evaluation and interpretation of clinical assessment tools. Basic knowledge in epidemiology and statistical methods is necessary.

The course is provided yearly in Dutch as part of the Master Epidemiology (see the website EpidM). The course is provided in English about every two years. A maximum of 48 persons can participate. 

We also offer to provide this course locally at your University of Institute. Over the past years we have provided this course at the University of Sidney, Australia, the Univeristy of Odense, Denmark, and the Univeristy of Bergen, Norway.

The next course in Dutch will be organized in June 2011. If you are interested in participation, please contact EpidM.
At the moment, an English course is not planned yet. If you are interested in participating in one of our next English courses, please contact the Knowledgecenter Measurement Instruments.
