Statistics for Basic Physician Training (FRACP)

Saturday, 19 September and Sunday 20 September 2020 (mornings only)

As you will realise, COVID-19 makes it difficult to plan months ahead.  We have made the decision to deliver this workshop via ZOOM over two mornings.  Our School has extensive experience at delivering material online and we expect to able to do this efficiently and with some scope for interactivity.

Information:

The workshop will focus on the statistical needs of physician trainees, and the topics covered in the FRACP examination. Clear, succinct, written notes will be provided, and will conclude with a trial MCQ test on the statistics topics, worked through with the presenter.
