Research Methods in Dentistry is a postgraduate course designed to provide fundamental knowledge and skills in Evidence-Based Dentistry and research methods for students intending to undertake research at the Sydney Dental School. All course material is provided through eLearning (Canvas) via the University of Sydney's website. A detailed series of modules and learning resources are included in the study material. Students are required to complete module-based assignments and a final assignment at the end of the course. Students are expected to develop a research proposal to investigate a research question of their interest as the final assignment. Topics covered include introduction to Evidence-Based Dentistry, systematic literature search, quantitative and qualitative research methods and basic statistics. Considerable attention is paid to critical appraisal of journal articles which is an indispensable tool in the pursuit of clinical practice founded on Evidence-Based Dentistry.
