Recently, 41 students from across the globe gathered in the beautiful surroundings of St Hilda’s College for the Real-World Epidemiology Summer School. Run by the Botnar Institute, the annual programme focuses on the OMOP (Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership) Common Data Model, a framework that organises healthcare data from diverse sources such as hospitals, clinics, research studies, into a standardised format. By doing so, it empowers observational research across various healthcare organisations to improve patient outcomes.
Among the group were three students had received a prestigious Trueta bursary. Named after Professor Josep Trueta, who fled Spain as a refugee after the Spanish civil war and became an international lead in surgical sciences, they enable individuals to attend the week-long programme as well as covering their accommodation costs.
Our Trueta bursary attendees were:
- David Amadi from Zambia,
- Maria Jesús Rojas Lechuga from Chile,
- Anthony Torres-Ruesta from Peru.
We caught up with David, Maria, and Anthony to hear about their experiences at the Summer School.
