Modern applications of statistics to health/medicine are highly developed, and many medical research papers employ statistical techniques. Large numbers of statisticians are employed in medical research establishments, particularly in pharmaceutical companies and medical schools. Medical statistics continues to be a buoyant area for statistical recruitment. The course will explain why and how statistics is used in health/medicine, and study some of the statistical methods commonly used in health/medical research. We will include examples from our own research. The statistical techniques applied to medical data are also relevant in other application areas.
