Clinical Biostatistics

This course presents a unified approach to analyzing and interpreting clinical data. We start with basic descriptive statistics and simple t-test and ANOVA inferential analysis and describe where they can be applied, then move to linear, logistic, and survival analysis. Our goal is to acquaint participants with a comprehensive array of approaches to data analysis and, most notably, to circumstances to which they apply. The objective is to prepare students for research activities, either as a career or as a step toward "Board Certification," enabling them to plan studies, analyze data ensuing from studies, and critically read articles in their area of interest. 2 Credit Hours
