Overview
The Division of Biostatistics and Health Data Science will be offering free biostatistical consulting in the context of PubH 7465: Biostatistics Consulting. PubH 7465 is, in some sense, a capstone class for second year masters students in the Division of Biostatistics and Health Data Science, and one of the primary aims of the course is for students to gain practical experience providing biostatistical consulting for clinical and translational researchers.
All consulting sessions will include up to three graduate students and a faculty member from the Division of Biostatistics and Health Data Science. It is expected that the students will be primarily responsible for all consulting work but the faculty member will take an active role in advising the students throughout the process.
All consulting work, including any follow-up work, must be able to be completed during the current semester.Â
