Session Overview

The Fundamentals of Biostatistics and Clinical Trial Design Workshop is presented by two of ACCP’s most dynamic and knowledgeable faculty, Drs. Soric and Williams. This workshop is ideal for clinical pharmacists who plan to sit for a Board of Pharmacy Specialties (BPS) exam, or are interested in learning more about biostatistics and clinical trial design.

Program Content

The workshop is divided into two major sections:

  1. An overview of descriptive versus interferential statistics, factors that influence errors and how to estimate sample size, and choosing the appropriate statistics test.
  2. Observational and interventional study designs and methodologies, how to best interpret measures of association, and screenings in medicine.
