I used to be in a statistics career field and use some of that knowledge for this course. I absolutely feel like it's easier to spot fraud and will help me have a critical eye for so many other areas!

This is a great course that helps you interpret the correct way to read clinical studies. It's something I'll use, especially when and if I am asked to take a medication that has serious side effects.

The instructor is a fantastic lecturer. I really want to express my gratitude to everyone involved in designing and implementing this course, your hard work is made evident in the quality of the final product.

Excellent course if you are interested in medical research but not from a medical background. Gives you a good background in how the medical studies are conducted, what to watch out for and a clear understanding of a lot of the jargon and specific meanings of words used.
All explained in a clear and engaging manner. Very informative and very much enjoyed the course.

Very well done and high quality course, thanks to Yale University and professor Perry Wilson. I have really appreciated the format and the way the contents have been explained.
Some arguments I have always had some problem to understand (such as p-value and RR or AR) are now clearer and more manageable.
thanks again,
Francesco

Excellent class with an engaging research physician who thoroughly enjoys statistics. Extremely relevant information on how-to interpret current medical news on Covid-19. Thoroughly enjoyed format with an excellent balance of fun scenarios and serious deconstruction of real journal articles. Recommend highly!

Amazing course, I learned a lot. Thank you for pointing out all the different 'red flags' we should immediately be aware of and look for. The lecturer should do another course as soon as he can, and I expect that he continues to use the many funny scifi references. Thank you for making this.
