Abstract:

This proposal is for a panel discussion on the topic of teaching statistics to Nurses. The panel will consist of five PhD trained Statisticians serving as faculty members in a College/School of Nursing. Presentations and discussions will include the topics such as: curriculum; pedagogy; methods of assessment; nursing applications used in the illustration and teaching of statistical methods. We will also discuss the relationship between statistical consulting and teaching; for example, consulting with nurse researchers lends to identifying gaps in statistical training or knowledge for some nurse researchers, leading to the possibility of curricula changes and incorporating education and training on these topics in statistics course work for nurses.
