Introduction
Undertaking medical research requires a range of skills and knowledge related to the ways information is generated, evaluated and communicated. Processes like peer review and open evaluation are essential to ensure that the knowledge underpinning medicine, health care and medical research funding is accurate, unbiased, ethically acquired and widely available. This unit introduces students to the key skills and processes relevant to science and research literacy, offering perspectives from a range of fields of medical research. It will equip students with the skills to find, evaluate and assess the validity of scientific information, and will help students to develop their own scientific communication skills.
