Training

Master and PhD students in the Department of Biostatistics receive hands on training in health informatics, and health sciences or biostatistical research. Students write master's project reports, PhD dissertations, or reports on their work on projects as research assistants. Many of these efforts produce work that is publishable in either the statistics, or health science literature or is of interest to funding agencies, and is published as PHO technical or administrative reports.
