Abstract:	I describe a modern, two-quarter regression course encompassing multiple linear, logistic, and repeated measures regression, as well as proportional hazards models. We teach this course to beginning health sciences researchers. I discuss the challenges in educating such an audience as well as balances in theory vs. practice, lecture vs. lab, and a level of computing we have found to work well. We use a "just in time" approach to curriculum organization in the course as a motivational tool.
