Intensive Course in Applied Mathematics for Clinical Research

About

This intensive course is designed for postgraduate researchers in nursing, medicine, and medical research. The goal is to provide a strong foundation in mathematical and statistical concepts that are essential for advanced clinical research. The course will cover descriptive and inferential statistics, hypothesis testing, epidemiological data analysis, and the application of mathematical techniques in clinical studies. It will focus on practical applications to help researchers effectively analyse and interpret health data. This course provides the mathematical and statistical tools necessary to design robust studies, interpret clinical data, and apply findings effectively to improve patient outcomes. By combining theoretical knowledge with practical skills, participants will be better equipped to conduct high-quality research, understand epidemiological trends, and contribute significantly to their fields.
