- estimate accuracy and precision of measurements performed in the biomedical field;
- properly synthetize and summarize the information collected on a series of patients;
- compute the probability of a single event or several events
- generalize findings from samples to the original population

Examination Methods

(OBJECTIVES, CONTENT AND VALUATION MODALITIES)
To pass the examination of the Medical Statistics module, students will have to demonstrate that they have learned the knowledge of the topics they are planning and the ability to apply the statistics to clinical data in an appropriate way.
The Exam of Medical Statistics consists of a written test based on the course contents, with 10 multiple-choice questions (1 point) and a multi-task exercise (1 to 3 points each, total 10 points) .
Examination of the Medical Statistics Form is considered to be passed and maintained valid within the AA if the evaluation is equal or greater than 18/30.
There are 4 appeals: 2 in the Winter Session at the end of the course, 2 in the Summer Session and 2 in the Autumn Session.
