Introduction to Statistics for Vets

Research in veterinary medicine often makes use of and may depend upon statistical analysis. In this course we shall describe the main statistical concepts used in clinical research.

Led by the eminent health statistician, Professor Martin Bland, the course will be presented in the context of clinical research literature and will focus on understanding the application to real examples.

This is the third course for vets that the department has undertaken and builds on its well established and successful courses in human medicine, from which most of the examples are drawn. The aim of this course is to equip participants with the basic skills and knowledge for understanding published research papers in veterinary medicine.

The four day course is supported by a substantial set of practical exercises on the web.
