· To understand different types of study design (Observational and experimental)

· To identify the overall process of designing a research study from its proposal to its report.

· To be familiar with ethical issues in medical research especially in clinical trials

· To define the meaning of a variable, and to be able to identify independent, dependent variables.

· To know the various types of sampling methods and how to choose study samples

· To know how sample size is determined in medical research as it is an essential step in any scientific research
