Teaching Biostatistics to Clinical Research Groups
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim is to present a teaching model in biostatistics that provides a link between biostatistical theory and medical science. The course is designed for multi-professional research groups, consisting of a supervisor, at least one doctoral student or post-doctoral scientist and other individuals working on the same project. The course is interactive and all participants have to apply the biostatistical theories to the project throughout the course. Experience gained from running such courses indicates that application of the skills learnt should improve the quality of future medical research and the publication of results.

متن کاملThe Effect of Blended Learning in Teaching Applied Biostatistics for Postgraduate Medical Students
Introduction: Unlike the face-to-face courses offered on campus, online courses are predominantly asynchronous, where students basically decide when they can attend online courses. There is also an intermediate method referred to as blended learning (BL) that combines the merits of both methods. This study investigates the effect of blended learning on attitude and learning applied Biostatistic...
متن کاملUnderstanding Biostatistics
There are many biostatistics books in print, apparently because no one book meets the need to be both (1) intelligible to a busy medical student, house officer, or clinician, and (2) sufficiently complete for those wanting a thorough treatment of the subject. The first question, therefore, is: Does this book fill a needed space in the biostatistical landscape, and if so, what is that space? Bas...

متن کاملTeaching the Measurement Process in Biostatistics
The measurement process is the link between a research problem and the result. Different kinds of operational approaches to the same research problem can lead to different permissible statistical methods. As numerical assignments are common for categorical data as well as for true numerical data, it is important to discuss the meaning of response values. This paper presents a model for teaching...
