Teaching: Medical Statistics Group
The statisticians in the Medical Statistics Group teach and examine across the whole range of ScHARR´s teaching activities. The key courses that we teach are:
- the first year undergraduate MBChB Medicine degree
- the Intercalated MBChB
- the Masters in Public Health (MPH)
- MSc Statistics with Medical Applications
- the Research Training Programme (Statistics for the Health Sciences)
We also co-ordinate several teaching modules including:
- HAR6030 Introduction to Research Methods
- HAR6035 Introduction to Statistics and Critical Appraisal
- HAR6036 Statistics for Doers
We now have a common core basic medical statistics curriculum that all the MSG statisticians can now teach.
The group is keen to promote excellence in its teaching activities and to develop new ways of teaching statistics to less numerate students. This is reflected in Dr Jennifer Freeman´s two Senate awards for excellence in teaching.
