Taught by Dr. Janet Forrester, Associate Professor of Biostatistics at Tufts University School of Medicine, this unique on-site Biostatistics Training Workshop is aimed at non-statistical professionals in pharmaceutical R&D who need to communicate effectively using the language of statistics.

Clinical biostatistics as used by pharmaceutical professionals is based on just a few core principles. Understanding these core principles is the key to grasping the language and application of biostatistics in medicine. This half-day workshop, conducted on-site, will include interactive exercises and team learning of concepts with real-world examples rather than the memorization of formulas.

Before:

  • Attendees will use their professional experience to derive personal learning objectives.

During:

  • Real-world examples and exercises will be used to visualize the concepts underlying biostatistics.

  • Attendees will leverage their learning by interacting with professional colleagues.

After:

  • Attendees will be able to read medical research with greater understanding.

  • Attendees will also be able to use the language of biostatistics to effectively communicate with members of their R&D team and others within the organization.
