Overview

Internet Enduring Material Sponsored by the Stanford University School of Medicine. Presented by the Departments of Medical Education and Health Research at Stanford University School of Medicine.

This course seeks to fulfill the need in the clinical community to better understand medical statistics as it pertains to practicing evidence based medicine, communicating treatment outcome probability to patients and interpreting the results of studies and scientific papers, and in turn improving quality of patient care. This applies to all specialties in various settings of practice.

Intended Audience

This course is designed to meet the educational needs of an international audience of physicians, residents and medical researchers in all specialties.


Objectives
  1. Develop strategies to enable translation of medical research into practicing evidence-based medicine through the following statistical methods: understanding bias, random variation, correctly interpret P values, basic probability and conditional probability, spot statistical errors, understand correlated data.
  2. Develop strategies to use specific statistical tests, understand basic regression modeling, and Bayesian inference.
  3. Develop strategies to effectively communicate prognosis and treatment probabilities to patients.
  4. Develop strategies to enable consistent interpretation of research data and provide correct information on study results.
