Primary LanguageR

R elective for medical students

Purpose

Elective teaching basic data analysis to medical students. Education will focus on the R programming language to analyze clinical data. The syllabus includes exploratory analysis, data visualization, and statistical inference. Motivated students can also learn scientific writing and communication within this elective. We aim to teach under the tidyverse paradigm of tidy data; see R for Data Science for more information.

Plan

  1. Students watch the YouTube video corresponding to the R script/topic in which they are interested.
  2. Students use the sample data to run the script and ensure it works appropriately on their local computer.
  3. Students substitute the sample data for their clinical data.
  4. Students reach out to the course instructors for

Progress

Currently, R scripts are being prepared and uploaded to this GitHub repository. YouTube videos will be uploaded in parallel. This section will be updated once at least a few scripts and corresponding videos have been prepared.
