Ottawa Methods Centre (OMC)
Learning Hub
The Methods Centre provides educational services to departments of The Ottawa Hospital. This includes providing academic half-days in epidemiology and critical appraisal to residents in several departments as part of the academic mandate of The Ottawa Hospital.
We also support research projects of interns and residents through consultation sessions. We bring in the appropriate experts to advise on the design and organization of studies and the interpretation of results.
