Title: Continuing Education for Masters Biostatisticians- Third Thursday of the month. Participants: Tebeb Gebretsadik, William Wu

Brief description:

The objective of this project is to assist and facilitate the continuing education of Masters level biostatisticians through monthly seminars on biostatistical and technical skills. It will require the participation of each biostatistician to be involved in learning and/or teaching these skills. The seminar on each specific biostatistical method/skill would be considered successful when the biostatistician would have enough background and technical tools to start using it. General topics or theoretical topics can be referred or presented as background but the session will be a practical summary that outlines every thing the biostatistician needs to go back to his/her office and implement the tool. Continuing education series will also include writing seminars covering grants and manuscript related writings.
