CERTaIN: CER/PCOR Methods: Introduction

CER (Comparative Effectiveness Research) and PCOR (Patient-Centered Outcomes Research) are reshaping how healthcare measures what actually works for real patients. This introductory course opens the door to their methods and mindset.

Four focused lectures cover the statistics and study designs unique to these approaches, the ethical considerations that distinguish them from traditional trials, and the landscape itself. If you're entering health outcomes research or wondering how evidence gets built beyond the randomized controlled trial, this is the foundation.
