As a researcher you want to get your results published in a respected scientific journal. In this course, you will learn how to prepare your manuscript in order to increase the chance of being accepted for publication in the journal of your choice.
Course organisers are the University of Oslo, Oslo University Hospital, Journal of the Norwegian Medical Association, Annals of Internal Medicine, New England Journal of Medicine, and Institute for Studies of the Medical Profession.
For the Norwegian medical program: Legeforeningen godkjenner kurset for alle spesialiteter, unntatt spesialitetene allmennmedisin og samfunnsmedisin, med 16 timer som valgfritt kurs for leger i spesialisering. Årsaken til at kurset ikke kan godkjennes for leger i spesialisering i spesialitetene allmennmedisin og samfunnsmedisin er at den gamle ordningen utgår 31.12.26. I etterutdanningen for spesialister godkjennes kurset for alle spesialiteter (inkludert allmennmedisin og samfunnsmedisin) med 16 timer som valgfritt kurs.
