The Department of Biostatistics and Health Data Science participates in the education of medical students as well as graduate students at IU School of Medicine. The department offers MD program electives and short courses for researchers as well as graduate and postdoctoral-level programs.
A short course is available to researchers at IU School of Medicine and partner institutions. “Biostatistics for Health Care Researchers” is designed especially for health care researchers in the health sciences. This course is offered periodically and consists of three sessions.
Sessions I and II cover basic principles, design of medical research studies, standard statistical tests and data analyses and data management. Session III focuses on more advanced topics, including multiple linear and logistic regression, survival analysis, longitudinal data and genetic analysis. Registrants may choose to attend Sessions I and II, II and III or I, II and III.
After this program, participants should be able to recognize common study designs and statistical methods used in medical research, discuss complex study design and analysis with a statistician, describe basic concepts of data management, identify appropriate use of statistical procedures when given a common study design and implement simple statistical analyses under the guidance of a statistician. Please email Thomas Inskeep for additional information and to be added to the notification list for the next available course.
