Intermediate Biostatistics for Clinical Research

3 units

This intermediate course is designed for medical students, clinicians and health researchers and builds on the skills developed in Introduction to Biostatistics for Clinical Research. The course will focus on more advanced statistical concepts as applied to clinical, public health, and population-based data sets, including linear, logistic, and Poisson regression analyses, and survival analyses. Through applied coursework, students will learn how to analyze and interpret clinical research data. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to perform statistical data analyses for regression models with continuous, categorical, count, and survival outcomes using the R program, and will be able to use these models to address their health research questions.
