- International Fees
International fees are typically three times the amount of domestic fees. Exact cost will be calculated upon completion of registration.
Course details
This course introduces students to the use of statistics as a tool for research in the health sciences. Topics covered include experimental design, standard and requirements of ethical research, descriptive statistics (organization and presentation of data), probability (discrete/continuous), estimation (confidence intervals and sample size), hypothesis testing (involving means and proportions), and linear regression (least squares fit and associated confidence/prediction intervals).

Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Explain the different types of medical study design along with their limitations
- Use summary statistics and standard data plots to investigate and describe similarities and differences between data on two or more groups of subjects in a medical study.
- Calculate probability results related to medical testing using Bayes' theorem, basic probability, and the medical test parameters: sensitivity and specificity
- Calculate p-values for a variety of hypothesis tests common in cardiology research.
- Explain the use of p-values in supporting research claims in cardiology and other health fields.
- Evaluate articles in clinical journals for statistical significance of the result and appropriateness of the statistical analysis being used.
- Use linear regression to determine a simple model for the relationship between predictor and response variables.
