Learning Objectives

The learning objectives, as submitted to the Royal College of Physicians (who have supplied 6 CPD points), are as follows:

• Develop skills in and understanding of epidemiological study design (of various types), including identification and description of different data types, and selection of appropriate statistical tests.
• Develop skills in and understanding of selection of appropriate statistical tests.
• Understand the principles behind, and applications of, various forms of regression analysis, including survival analysis.

The course includes some ‘classroom exercises’ held via Mentimeter, whereby we invite the attendees to submit their answers to certain questions.  We also have Q&A at the end of each half day.
