A CONCISE review of biostatistics for USMLE examinees, and the perfect refresher for clinicians, epidemiologists, nurses, physicians, researchers, students, and other medical specialists.
TOTALLY intuitive tricks, tips & shortcuts for biostatistics – you'll never forget them!
So about 1/3 of the Chapters are ALL a nursing student needs for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX).
50 core topics of biostatistics and epidemiology that are simplified.
FAR better questions and ANSWERS than the NBME practice exam, UWorld step 2, First Aid, USMLE RX
Hang on the Wall: A one-page document of all the chapter-topic’s key concepts, in large font & generously highlighted. Hang it on the wall!!
Practice questions with answers thoroughly explained on the opposite side of the page. Each question starts with a vignette that’s loaded with medical information (eg, key concepts of a particular disease) and concludes with the biostat question. You can elect to read the vignette or go straight to the biostat question.
In LESS than 2 pages EACH Chapter discusses high yieldness & degree of difficulty; key concepts; keywords to look for in exams; a break-down of any math, formula or, what’s relevant about solving the problem; and Author’s note!
National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) requires biostatistics
I had the great pleasure of meeting an International Medical Graduate (IMG) and began to get involved in her studies. She needed to complete all the USMLE Steps :(. While I couldn’t help with biochem, embryology, microbiology, immunology, pathology, pharmacology (making me generally worthless :-), I could help with biostatistics. I love math & statistics!!
In college I finished #1 in my math & stats courses for about the first 03 years of college. Nowadays I use math all day at work and would like to teach math after retiring. Math & stats are cool!
