What is 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. Comparative Effectiveness Research is a growing area of cutting-edge research that is elevated at the level of national initiative in the USA. Comparative Effectiveness Research 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? An innovative approach This is a unique opportunity for students to get a specialized Master in Comparative Effectiveness Research, a first of its kind in Europe, offered by top-level professors coming from the Amsterdam University, the Danube University, the Ioannina University, the Oxford University, the Rabat/Paris Descartes University, the Rabat/Paris Diderot University, the Queen?s University Belfast, the Utrecht University, and the York University. 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. The goal of the program is to acquire strong skills in methods, epidemiology, and biostatistics.

Courses will start in October 2015 and finish in July 2016 Course location Columbia Global Centers/Europe/Paris Reid Hall 4 rue de Chevreuse 75006 Paris Upon the completion of formalized courses, the students will have to complete a 5-month internship. The structure of the program The offered Master of Science in Comparative Effectiveness Research is a second-year course that is a part of a two-year Master in Public Health program. This Master?s program comprises 10 modules, which are delivered through a range of interactive learning strategies. The program includes the latest methods and advances in the field of CER, epidemiology and biostatistics. Courses will include applied, hands on sessions allowing the use of various epidemiological methods, statistical methods, analysis of various types of data and other. This research Master program will start in October and finish in July. Upon the completion of formalized courses, the students will have to complete a 5-month internship. The awarding of the Master?s degree will depend on successful completion of the formalized courses and the thesis defense.
