A 4-Day Livestream Seminar Taught by Lucy D’Agostino McGowan, Ph.D.

In today’s fast-paced healthcare landscape, understanding data and statistics is essential for making informed decisions. Whether you’re a medical student navigating your first journal article or a healthcare professional hoping to apply the latest research to patient care, the ability to critically evaluate medical literature is a vital skill.

This course is designed to introduce you to the core concepts of data and statistics, equipping you with the tools to extract meaningful insights from research without becoming bogged down in complex mathematical notation.

This course covers how to understand statistics in medical research papers without requiring advanced math skills. You’ll learn to evaluate different types of studies, read data visualizations, and interpret common statistical concepts like p-values and odds ratios.

Topics include study design (randomized trials, observational studies, and meta-analyses), data collection methods, how to read enrollment flowcharts and data tables, statistical testing, regression models, survival analysis, and diagnostic test metrics. You’ll learn how to assess whether research findings are trustworthy and can be reproduced. These skills will help you evaluate medical literature critically and apply research findings to clinical decisions.
