Clinical Statistics for Nonstatisticians in Clinical Operations Virtual Live Training Course

Gain a robust understanding of the basic statistical concepts underpinning clinical research. This course is designed for professionals who are regularly exposed to statistics either through their studies or professional experience.

Overview

This course introduces the basic statistical concepts that are fundamental to clinical research. It covers many core statistical topics, such as how to interpret odds ratios and hazard ratios, meta-analyses and non-inferiority studies. While the course includes a small number of formulae for individuals interested in computational details, the emphasis of the course lies on applying statistical concepts in clinical investigation.

 

What participants from previous courses say:

"It provides the background information that is extremely helpful for discussions with internal statisticians."

"I still need to work on the different designs / tests and how to understand results, but I now understand basic statistical language and notions (including p value)."

 

Who should attend?

This course is aimed at non-statisticians and those that need to refresh their statistical knowledge. It will particularly benefit those professionals who need to understand, and work with, statistical concepts related to clinical research, as well as those who need to present the results of clinical trials. Participants should have a basic understanding of statistics (either through professional experience or their studies), approximately equivalent to an introductory statistics course.

 

Learning objectives

At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Discuss basic statistical concepts such as variability, confidence intervals, hypotheses testing and p-values
  • Use basic statistical terminology confidently
  • Distinguish between various types of study design and identify techniques to avoid bias
  • Identify critical statistical issues in design and analysis
  • Differentiate between a superiority and a non-inferiority design and understand the way in which each should be reported
