Abstract:

If you are considering the use of medical literature in your classes, or have experiences to share, please join us for coffee and discussion. Issues may include how/where to look for articles, who should conduct the search, how to handle mistakes or complicated methods, and what to ask to assess student comprehension. I am a statistics professor with experience teaching introductory statistics to graduate students who are typically biologists, nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists, and physician assistants.
