Training for Non Statisticians
Statistical Thinking for Non-Statisticians in Drug RegulationThe flagship course is the two-day or three-day course ‘Statistical Thinking for Non-Statisticians in Drug Regulation’. The programme is run by Dr Kay exclusively on an in-company basis. The course consists of a series of lectures, short exercises and workshops and can be tailored to the specific needs of the company, both in terms of the methodological content and the workshops and exercises; these can be built around particular examples and publications that are of direct relevance to the company. A shortened one-day version of the course is also available.
This course is aimed at physicians, clinical scientists, medical writers, senior data managers and regulatory personnel and the emphasis throughout is on principles rather than technical details. The aim of the course is to increase knowledge and understanding of statistics amongst the participants to enable them to:
• Communicate with statisticians through a common language
• Deal more effectively with statistical issues that arise in their day to day work
Here are some comments on the 2-day and 3-day versions of the course from recent participants:
