I have gotten many questions about this exciting new partnership - PHS @ the Library, such as:
- “How do you make an appointment?”
- “What kinds of help can you receive?”
I plan to add a link to this service and the larger Bioconnector site in the near future from the Medical Student Portal page in the right column under “Resource Guides”
I am including more details below:
Drop in Hours:
Tuesdays and Thursdays 12:00 – 4:00pm or schedule an appointment
We are happy to assist you with the following questions:
Basic data collection and management
- What is my research question?
- How do I collect and store this data most effectively?
- How do I encode the data to make it most useful for downstream analysis?
- What university infrastructure resources are available for me to handle this (SAS, SPSS, GIS, etc. )?
- How would I design, conduct, and analyze a chart review for about 100 patients?
- How do I arrange a consultation on clinical database creation and management?
Basic biomedical and science statistical questions
- How do I analyze this data?
- How do I calculate what sample size I need?
- How do I know what statistical test or model is most appropriate with this data?
- What assumptions must I satisfy to use this test or model appropriately?
