MASTER / DU
Outil proposé par l’ANEPF

Objectif de la formation

This new Master of Science is delivered in English and aims at international students who want to acquire interdisciplinary skills to evolve in the field of Comparative Effectiveness Research. Clinical research has generated tremendous knowledge on diagnosis and treatment.
However, it does not provide sufficient information to determine what treatment works best, for whom, and under which conditions.
Comparative Effectiveness Research (CER) addresses these issues by identifying the most effective interventions for specific patient groups. It is a growing area of cutting-edge research that is elevated at the level of national initiative in the USA. It is “the generation and synthesis of evidence that compares the benefits and harms of alternative methods to prevent, diagnose, treat, and monitor a clinical condition or to improve the delivery of care”.
