Description

The goal of healthcare is to achieve a cure for diseases and a better quality of life for patients. That is why it is necessary to invest in research”

##IMAGE##

Pharmacological research is of vital importance for the discovery of new treatments. In order to carry out the whole clinical trial process, it is necessary to count on statistics, so that all the results are more accurate. In this case, this postgraduate certificate will provide professionals with the notions on Biostatistics necessary for their daily practice. 

The use of statistics in clinical trials allows the clinical investigator to reach reasonable and accurate conclusions from the information collected, and to probe decisions when certainties are scarce. Statistics are key to preventing errors and biases in medical research. 

This postgraduate certificate in Biostatistics compiles the skills and specialized knowledge to have a methodological basis in statistics applied to clinical trials. As such, it covers the main techniques, procedures and statistical methodology to be used in the preparation of protocols, analysis plans and clinical trial reports.  

The health professional will also be able to acquire specialized knowledge in reading and writing articles and protocols with a critical attitude, and will have a solid foundation essential to approach the study of more complex techniques. 

Expand your knowledge through this postgraduate certificate in Biostatistics that will allow you to specialize until you achieve excellence in this field”

This postgraduate certificate in Biostatistics contains the most complete and up to date educational program on the market. The most important features include:

  • The development of practical cases presented by experts in Biostatistics
  • The graphic, schematic, and practical contents with which they are created, provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional development
  • New developments in Biostatistics
  • Practical exercises where self assessment can be used to improve learning
  • Its special emphasis on innovative methodologies in Biostatistics
  • Theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments
  • Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an internet connection

This postgraduate certificate is the best investment you can make when selecting a refresher program for two reasons: in addition to updating your knowledge in Biostatistics, you will obtain a qualification endorsed by TECH Technological University”

The teaching staff includes professionals from the Health sector, who bring their experience to this training program, as well as renowned specialists from leading societies and prestigious universities. 

The multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will provide the professional with situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive training programmed to train in real situations. 

This program is designed around Problem Based Learning, whereby the professional must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise throughout the program. For this purpose, the professor will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system developed by renowned and experienced experts in the field of Biostatistics.

Postgraduate Certificate in Biostatistics

The branch of statistical science (biostatistics) is applied to many aspects of biology or medicine, therefore, it has become a crucial tool in different clinical procedures. Thanks to this, specialists are able to design and elaborate control reports to minimize errors, as well as to create and store data to later analyze and interpret them. With the motivation to provide comprehensive knowledge focused on this topic, the School of Medicine of TECH developed a Postgraduate Certificate in Biostatistics which, in addition to including in its syllabus the most innovative and updated topics in the market, delves into the basics of this discipline in daily clinical practice. The postgraduate course stands out in the educational sector for many reasons, among them, its online study mode, the development of practical cases presented by experts and the pragmatic contents supported by multimedia material. The structure of the study plan includes the main techniques, procedures and statistical methodologies used in the elaboration of protocols and clinical trial reports; as well as the use of public biomedical information sources and scientific organizations on the study or dynamics of populations.

Specialize in applying biostatistics to the medical field.

Studying this TECH Postgraduate Certificate is an important opportunity for the development of multiple competencies. On the one hand, it enables the detailed study of biostatistical science (research questions, population to be analyzed, sample calculation, variables, protocols, material, study methods), and on the other hand, the exploration of the methodological bases to prevent errors and biases in any medical research. In order to facilitate the understanding of the concepts that make up the program, you will be continuously accompanied by experienced specialists, who will facilitate your study process through the use of innovative tools. Throughout the six weeks it takes to master the proposed contents, you will approach the scientific method in the handling of bibliographic information sources; followed by the advanced mathematical model (experimental situation) involved in a biosanitary study. At the end of the postgraduate course, you will develop a structured logical-rational thinking that will allow you to determine the most appropriate statistical techniques, in order to meet the objectives proposed in a research.
