Statistics is a useful de cision making tool in the clinical research arena. When working in a field where a p-value can determine the next steps on development of a drug or procedure\, it is imperative that decision makers understand the theory an d application of statistics.

\n\nThis seminar provides a non-mathematical introduction to biosta tistics and is designed for non-statisticians. And it will benefit profess ionals who must understand and work with study design and interpretation o f findings in a clinical or biotechnology setting.
\n\nThe focus of the seminar is to give you the information and skills necessary to underst and statistical concepts and findings as applies to clinical research\, an d to confidently convey the information to others.
\n\nEmphasis will be placed on the actual statistical (a) concepts\, (b) application\, and (c) interpretation\, and not on mathematical formulas or actual data analy sis. A basic understanding of statistics is desired\, but not necessary. p>\n\n
