Abstract:

If you are considering the use of medical literature in your classes, view this poster with examples from my experience. Various approaches will be explored from the initial thought, finding an appropriate paper, and making use of it in class. I am a statistics professor with experience teaching introductory statistics to graduate students who are typically biologists, nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists, or physician assistants.
