Workshop-Seminar: The Role of Statistics in the Scientific Research Process in Health Sciences related to UMECIT

Statistics is a fundamental tool in scientific research, especially in Health Sciences. Its role is to provide methods and techniques to plan, collect, organize, process, analyze and interpret the data of a population under study, which allows inferring about a part of it and fulfilling the objectives established in scientific research works, intervention or institutional archives.

The UMECIT Research and Postgraduate Department promotes this type of discussion for research teachers and Postgraduate students to promote a better rapprochement of Statistics with the specialized needs in each field of science, and in a very particular way in this case to health Sciences.

The main objective of this type of discussion is to present the role of statistics throughout the entire process of scientific research, emphasizing Health Sciences, and offer recommendations for the best use of existing resources and the strengthening of research and publication of results.

This invitation is addressed to: Postgraduate students and UMECIT teachers and Researchers related to Health Sciences
