Staff and students on the Essential Medical Statistics course in Oxford this week. (Some places for part-time study on our #ebm and #medicalstatistics MSc programmes still available - I don't know for how much longer: conted.ox.ac.uk/about/msc-in-e…) Thanks @patrickfahr for the photo!

Glad to see this. We agree - that's why our Oxford Postgrad: EBHC part-time MSc courses have distinct modules for Meta-Analysis and Systematic Reviews. (Not to mention the Complex Reviews module, &c.)

Despite the pandemic, students from all over the world have been coming to Oxford for Oxford Postgrad: EBHC courses. These pins are just the students on our #medicalstatistics courses, so far this academic year, not including online courses.

An amazing honour and an incredible night!

Anyone need a teaching example for the difference between #statisticalsignificance and clinical significance? Here, body temperature is higher (p<0.001) in men than women, by 0.032 degrees Celsius.

... including courses in #medicalstatistics, clinical prediction rules, big data epidemiology skills, meta-analysis, statistical computing, statistics for clinical trials ...

Wow - thanks Jim et al. for the encouraging words about our programme.

Publishing in Colorectal Disease has had unforeseen consequences for the preview image on my tweet.

We're excited about the new academic year bringing us new MSc students. Study alongside them on one of our one-week intensive courses, or one of our part-time courses: or apply to join them on an MSc or Diploma course next year. Courses in #medicalstatistics and EBM and more

Close but no cigar (this time)! ⁦Annette Pluddemann⁩ ⁦Oxford Postgrad: EBHC⁩ ⁦OxPrimaryCareSci⁩

My colleague Jason Oke points out that calculating excess mortality is harder than it looks.

These happy people are the students and staff on our Oxford Postgrad: EBHC Essential Medical Statistics course, a core module (for #medicalstatistics students) or an optional module (for students on other part-time programmes at Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine)

Students (and staff) in Oxford last week for the Essential Medical Statistics (conted.ox.ac.uk/courses/essent…) course. This week, studying remotely. Our postgraduate programme (Oxford Postgrad: EBHC ) blends face-to-face learning in Oxford with distance learning online. #medicalstatistics

Oxford, 12th September: Justin Clark, from Bond University the Two-Week Systematic Review team, teaching #systematicreview automation tools. Early bird discount available oxforduniversitystores.co.uk/short-courses/… Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine

Early bird discount expires end of July, so now is a good time for a reminder. Rare opportunity to get this teaching in-person in the UK.

FAO #Stata users: lovely upgrade to Stata's help system can now be installed, thanks to Chen & Lian, Stata Journal 24:161-168. DOI: 10.1177/1536867X241233676 I don't know what it says about Stata that I'm this happy about an upgrade to the help system.

Medical research + teaching stats to health professionals: senior statistician role at Oxford's primary health care dept phc.ox.ac.uk/about/work-wit…

You don't have to be a "statistician" on paper to be a good #statistics lecturer: you may have come from an #epidemiology, operations research, biochemistry or other background. Our senior statistician vacancy closes on Friday, shortlisting soon. phc.ox.ac.uk/about/work-wit…
