If you’ve ever skipped over`the results section of a medical paper because terms like “confidence interval” or “p-value” go over your head, then you’re in the right place. You may be a clinical practitioner reading research articles to keep up-to-date with developments in your field or a medical student wondering how to approach your own research. Greater confidence in understanding statistical analysis and the results can benefit both working professionals and those undertaking research themselves.

TOP REVIEWS FROM UNDERSTANDING CLINICAL RESEARCH: BEHIND THE STATISTICS
i found the course very helpful and informative and i t helps to critically read and interpret research papers. my only take on it is that there was no responses to questions that i asked the lecturer
Prior to this course I had little introduction to the clinical trials domain. Found this course to be extremely helpful in my learning. Thanks for the design and content of the course.
Concepts have been broken down into small and understandable pieces. I would say this is a great course for anyone without a statistics background as the content was clear and easy to understand!
It is easy to understand and well articulated honestly most students feel like statistics is boring but each moment I did this course had curiosity and eagerness to understand the concepts
