BACKGROUND This paper seeks to contribute to a reputable evidence base for required competencies across different topics in statistics and probability (statistical topics) in preparing medical graduates for clinical practice. This is in order to inform the prioritization of statistical topics within future undergraduate medical curricula, while exploring the need for preparing tomorrow's doctors to be producers, and not merely consumers, of statistics. METHODS We conducted a comprehensive online survey from July 2013 to August 2014 for a target group of 462 medical graduates with current or prior experience of teaching undergraduate medical students of the University of Edinburgh of whom 278 (60.2%) responded. Statistical topics were ranked by proportion of respondents who identified the practice of statistics, performing statistical procedures or calculations using appropriate data, as a required competency for medical schools to provide in preparing undergraduate medical students for clinical practice. Mixed effects analyses were used to identify potential predictors for selection of the above competency and to compare the likelihood of this selection for a range of statistical topics versus critical appraisal. RESULTS Evidence was gleaned from medical graduates' experiences of clinical practice for the need for, not only a theoretical understanding of statistics and probability but also, the ability to practice statistics. Nature of employment and statistical topic were highly significant predictors of choice of the practice of statistics as a required competency ((F = 3.777, p < 0.0005) and (F = 45.834, p < 0.0005), respectively). The most popular topic for this competency was graphical presentation of data (84.3% of respondents) in contrast to cross-over trials for the competency understanding the theory only (70.5% of respondents). Several topics were found to be more popular than critical appraisal for competency in the practice of statistics. CONCLUSIONS The model of medical graduates as mere consumers of statistics is oversimplified. Contrary to what has been suggested elsewhere, statistical learning opportunities in undergraduate medicine should not be restricted to development of critical appraisal skills. Indeed, our findings support development of learning opportunities for undergraduate medical students as producers of statistics across a wide range of statistical topics.

医学研究生对临床实践中统计学习需求的看法:全面调查。

背景技术本文力求为在医学毕业生为临床实践做准备中的统计和概率(统计主题)上不同主题的所需能力提供一个良好的证据基础。这是为了告知未来的本科医学课程中统计主题的优先级,同时探讨了使明天的医生成为统计的生产者,而不仅仅是消费者的需求。方法从2013年7月至2014年8月,我们对462名具有当前或先前教学爱丁堡大学医学本科生经验的医学毕业生的目标群体进行了调查,其中278人(占60.2%)。统计主题按确定统计实践的受访者比例进行排名,使用适当的数据执行统计程序或计算,这是医学院为准备医学生进行临床实践提供的必要能力。混合效果分析用于确定选择上述能力的潜在预测因素,并比较一系列统计主题与批判性评估的比较可能性。结果从医学毕业生的临床实践经验中收集了证据,不仅需要对统计学和概率的理论理解,而且还需要实践统计学的能力。就业的性质和统计主题是选择统计学实践作为必备能力的重要指标(分别为(F = 3.777,p <0.0005)和(F = 45.834,p <0.0005))。这种能力最流行的话题是数据的图形表示(占受访者的84.3%),而对于仅了解理论的能力进行交叉试验(占受访者的70.5%)。在统计实践中,发现几个主题比对能力的严格评估更受欢迎。结论医学毕业生作为单纯的统计消费者的模型被过度简化。与其他地方提出的建议相反,本科医学领域的统计学习机会不应仅限于批判性评估技能的发展。确实,我们的发现支持了本科医学生作为广泛的统计主题的统计数据产生者的学习机会的发展。3%的受访者)与仅通过能力理论了解能力的交叉试验(70.5%的受访者)形成鲜明对比。在统计实践中,发现几个主题比对能力的严格评估更受欢迎。结论医学毕业生作为单纯的统计消费者的模型被过度简化。与其他地方提出的建议相反,本科医学领域的统计学习机会不应仅限于批判性评估技能的发展。确实,我们的发现支持了本科医学生作为广泛的统计主题的统计数据产生者的学习机会的发展。3%的受访者)与仅通过能力理论了解能力的交叉试验(70.5%的受访者)形成鲜明对比。在统计实践中,发现几个主题比对能力的严格评估更受欢迎。结论医学毕业生作为单纯的统计消费者的模型被过度简化。与其他地方提出的建议相反,本科医学领域的统计学习机会不应仅限于批判性评估技能的发展。确实,我们的发现支持了本科医学生作为广泛的统计主题的统计数据产生者的学习机会的发展。在统计实践中,发现几个主题比对能力的严格评估更受欢迎。结论医学毕业生作为单纯的统计消费者的模型被过度简化。与其他地方提出的建议相反,本科医学领域的统计学习机会不应仅限于批判性评估技能的发展。确实,我们的发现支持了本科医学生作为广泛的统计主题的统计数据产生者的学习机会的发展。在统计实践中,发现几个主题比对能力的严格评估更受欢迎。结论医学毕业生作为单纯的统计消费者的模型被过度简化。与其他地方提出的建议相反,本科医学领域的统计学习机会不应仅限于批判性评估技能的发展。确实,我们的发现支持了本科医学生作为广泛的统计主题的统计数据产生者的学习机会的发展。本科医学领域的统计学习机会不应仅限于批判性评估技能的开发。确实,我们的发现支持了本科医学生作为广泛的统计主题的统计数据产生者的学习机会的发展。本科医学领域的统计学习机会不应仅限于批判性评估技能的开发。确实,我们的发现支持了本科医学生作为广泛的统计主题的统计数据产生者的学习机会的发展。
