NURS 5550 - Practical Statistics

Statistical methods and concepts will be introduced with a special focus on basic topics applied in clinical research. A pragmatic approach will be used to familiarize the student with the uses (and misuses) of statistics discussed in scientific journal articles, prepare the student for material covered in more depth in future courses, such as Evidence-Based Practice and Epidemiology and Population Science, but also ensure that the statistics encountered in daily life are understood.
