Biostatistics for the Non-Statistician 2026

Überblick

This seminar bridges that gap. Designed specifically for non-statisticians, it provides a clear, practical introduction to biostatistics without overwhelming you with mathematics. You’ll learn the “why” behind the numbers, gain tools to spot meaningful findings, and avoid being misled by misused statistics. By the end of the program, you’ll be able to read statistical reports with confidence, communicate findings to colleagues and stakeholders, and make better data-driven decisions that can shape the future of clinical and biotech innovation. Why Should You Attend: In the world of clinical research and biotechnology, numbers carry weight. A single statistical finding can influence whether ...a project moves forward, a regulatory submission is approved, or a study is deemed credible. Yet for many professionals, statistics can feel like a barrier rather than a tool. Questions often linger: Was the right test used? Is this “significant” result actually meaningful? Am I interpreting this report correctly? These uncertainties can create hesitation and reduce confidence in decision-making. While statisticians may handle the technical details, non-statisticians are frequently expected to review reports, contribute to study design discussions, and communicate findings to colleagues, regulators, or clients. Without a clear understanding of statistical concepts, it can be easy to misinterpret results or miss important nuances. By attending, you will: Develop a clearer understanding of common statistical terms and concepts. Gain practical insight into how and why certain tests are applied. Learn approaches for distinguishing between statistically significant and clinically meaningful results. Improve your ability to follow discussions with statisticians and regulatory professionals. Increase your confidence when reviewing, reporting, or presenting statistical information. This seminar is not about turning you into a statistician. Rather, it is about equipping you with enough knowledge to understand the essentials, ask informed questions, and engage more effectively in the decision-making process. For professionals who work with clinical data but don’t have formal statistical training, this program provides a practical and supportive way to reduce uncertainty and build confidence. Who will Benefit: Physicians Clinical Research Associates Clinical Project Managers/Leaders Sponsors Regulatory Professionals who use statistical concepts/terminology in reporting Medical Writers who need to interpret statistical reports Clinical Investigators / Principal Investigators (PIs) Medical Affairs Professionals Safety and Pharmacovigilance Staff Data Managers and Data Analysts in clinical trials Healthcare Policy Analysts Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology Executives and Managers Graduate Students in the biological and medical sciences Anyone interested in learning core concepts and application of statistics Mehr lesen
