Lecturio: Study for Medical School, USMLE, MCAT & MBBS

Statistics: Basics

Statistics refers to the science that focuses on the collection and analysis of data sets. During the development of modern medicine, it became clear that data could be extracted from population samples and that these sets of data could be analyzed to reveal patterns. From that point on, statistics has been closely associated with epidemiology in the study of diseases in populations.

In this course, the student will be introduced to basic concepts of statistics applied to clinical studies.

For optimal understanding, the student is required to be familiar with the basics of arithmetic, algebra, and epidemiology. Since some concepts may be very abstract to some, it’s encouraged to rewatch some video lectures until the concepts are fully grasped.
