Abstract

In order to solve the problems of traditional teaching model for medical statistics based on theoretical lecture, we developed new teaching model for medical statistics. The model was consisted of theoretical and practical lecture for 2nd grade of premedical students, Ewha Womans University. For theoretical lecture, we introduced basic concepts of medical statistics, data description and social survey method with questionnaire development. For practical lecture, we introduced the whole process from the selection for research topic to sampling, survey, data analysis, and report writing. Although students participated this class pointed out some trivial problems, they gave positive evaluation, particularly on practical lecture. We think this new model will be a good model and let medical students have ability to do medical research through basic knowledge and practical skill.
