The Institute of Neurology offers a limited number of undergraduate Elective placements, to final year medical students from the UK and abroad, which are booking at least 18 months in advance. These placements are not strictly structured - it is advisable to be as pro-active as possible. It is up to the individual student to choose the activities they wish to attend, within their assigned clinical group/formal teaching programme, which would most benefit them during their placement.

Introduction to Statistics with Stata course provides a complete introduction to statistical analysis using the software package, Stata. It is ideal for new or beginner-level users who want to have a head start and learn how to use STATA efficiently. It also fits with advanced researchers who want to learn basic data management and choose appropriate statistical tests to analyse their own data using STATA.

The course will cover six different topics in 2 days. On the first day, we aim to cover 3 topics:

1. How STATA works
2. Summarizing & displaying data
3. Comparing continuous data including ANOVA.

On the 2^nd day we will cover 3 topics:

1. Comparing categorical data
2. Basic non-parametric tests
3. Correlation & regression (linear).

Please note that the event will be from 10am to 1pm on both days.

Please note that the course will be held in Room TR7 on the 1st Floor, 7 Queen Square.

This half day course is designed for clinicians preparing for the speciality certificate exit exam, and is delivered by Neurologists working at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery. A specially prepared book of revision notes and sample questions will be given to all delegates - invaluable tips for those preparing for the Speciality Certificate Exam.

Thank you for booking. We look forward to welcoming you on this course on the 29th March 2023.
