Biostats Schmiostats: What we talk about when we talk about medicine Part 2 Gloves Off

    • Medicine

In the second episode we talk about how biostatistics and epidemiology went virtually ignored as a subject in our undergraduate medical education and why we cannot afford this luxury anymore. The episode discusses how a knowledge of statistical skill and interpretation of data affects our clinical practice. We hope that this brings a shift in practice, with evidence based medicine pushing out 'eminence based medicine'.
