Introduction to Statistics for Vets

Friday 7 October - Monday 10 October, 2011

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.  The course will be presented in the context of clinical research literature and will concentrate on understanding the application to real examples.

This is the second 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.

Target audience


• The course should be of interest to everybody interested in research in veterinary medicine.
• It will be assumed that participants will have no or very little experience of statistical analysis.

Course leader: Martin Bland

The four day course is supported by a substantial set of practical exercises on the worldwide web and has an assessment which provides a masters level (10 credit) module qualification.
