Abstract:

The aim of this discussion is to explore the role of all stakeholders in teaching statistics to future clinicians. Emphasis on Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) has increased the importance of statistical literacy for clinicians and the need to critically evaluate the literature. The manner in which statistical skills are being taught is changing. Rather than being presented in isolated courses or modules, the material is frequently integrated into EBP and clinical courses. Clinical faculty has been assuming increasing responsibility for this. We will discuss the importance of collaboration between statistical and clinical faculty with regard to curricular planning and teaching.
