On-line Introductory Research Modules

We would like to thank all those who have trialled the JCU PHCRED on-line research modules.

From 2009 we will be offering qualitative research and evaluation subjects as part of our Graduate Certificate in Primary Health Care Research. As much of this material is based on the modules we will be closing these down as of the 1 December 2008.

We are currently evaluating the use of the modules to consider future options for their availability and delivery. Please undertake our survey to help us with this process
