Abstract:

Ensuring basic statistical literacy among the different stakeholders is critical to the success of bench-to-bedside-to-community medical research collaborations. This presentation will address the challenge of providing discipline specific training in statistics to geographically dispersed practicing health professionals. We will describe a customized online statistical education course that was developed for practicing reproductive endocrinologists planning to participate in clinical trial networks. Discussion will focus on the critical steps in delivering this course and will highlight best practices for implementing customized, distance learning environments.
