Introduction to Biostatistics for Clinical & Translational Research - July 19
Date/Time: Jul 19, 2024, 08:00 AM to Jul 19, 2024, 09:50 AM
Location: Lied Auditorium, KU Medical Center Campus, 3901 Rainbow Blvd., Kansas City, Kansas.
The KUMC Department of Biostatistics & Data Science, with support from the University of Kansas Cancer Center and Frontiers, offers this free four-day program in biostatistical methods for clinical and translational researchers.
Biostatistics plays a critical role in clinical and translational research, influencing everything from study design to results interpretation. Clinicians and scientists should have a basic understanding of biostatistics to support critical appraisal of research, collaboration, communication, and evidence-based practice. Biostatistical skills can empower researchers to participate more actively in shaping study design and analysis to ensure clinically relevant and feasible research questions, reduce the risk of bias, and improve research efficiency.
Topics include:
- Scientific Rigor and Reproducibility
- Hierarchy of Study Design and Scientific Evidence
- Hypothesis Testing and Estimation
- Common Statistical Methods (Student’s t, Chi-square, ANOVA, Linear regression, Logistic regression, Survival analysis)
