Practicum in Biostatistics
The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research

Sponsor: Martin L. Lesser, PhD

Students will observe and participate in the operations of a biostatistics department in an academic medical center. Students will take part in consulting sessions with research investigators, helping to design research studies; assist in data analysis and attend didactic lectures and journal clubs. Students may be asked to assist with data-entry or computer-programming tasks that will help them better understand the day-to-day activities of a research project. Students are expected to spend a considerable amount of time in self-study of a biostatistics textbook.

Pre-approval by sponsor is required for this elective rotation.
