Biostatistics Consulting Service
As part of their training
all Master's degree students are required to spend one semester
(2 hours a week) serving a Biostatistics Consulting Practicum and
Doctoral Students are required to spend one semester. Students
receive one academic credit for each semester.
In taking the Consulting Practicum the student will:
- Learn general
strategies for approaching consulting problems that can be applied
to a wide range of problems in the public health and medical areas.
- Develop the
ability to interact with clients and elicit the information required
to provide consulting expertise.
- Learn the role
of the consulting statistician and the accompanying responsibilities
and ethical considerations.
- Further develop
expertise in selected areas frequently needed by the consulting
biostatistician.
Each student taking the course spends two hours/week providing consultation
to faculty and students in the Graduate School of Public Health
and other schools in the Medical Center. Weekly sessions are held
between the faculty instructor and all students taking the course
to review and discuss the problems brought to the consulting service
the previous week.
