Description

Statistics and Data Analysis

The Academy of Clinical Science and Laboratory Medicine in partnership with the SLÁINTE  group in Munster Technological University are interested in facilitating statistical training workshops that would support the work and research of medical scientists.

The initial workshop will look at what software scientists are using for statistical analysis, what are the learning needs of medical scientists interested in statistical analysis of data and the best learning environment that would best support the workshops. So, the first workshop will be an information session partly based on the results of the survey we are sending to you (see link below).

In order to gauge the most appropriate statistical training required by ACSLM members, we have designed a short needs survey for you to complete at your convenience. The survey should take less than 5 minutes to complete and will be open until Wednesday, 30 November, at 13:00.

On Thursday, 8th December, we will deliver an online information session to interested participants to discuss the results of the “survey” and to allow opportunities for questions. The outcome of this session will form the basis for the content and structure of the following statistics and data analysis workshops.
