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”

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”
