The involvement of excessive statistical terms made the Medical research difficult. A doctor remain most of the time busy in clinical practice. The involvement of unnecessary statistical tests and terms made research difficult for Doctors of Medicine. Moreover, it is experienced that Statisticians only keep the medical students confused in unnecessary formulas and terminologies but don't teach them the software like SPSS to evaluate their data their-selves. After cramming a lot of the statistical formula passing the subject of bio-statistics the student remain dependent on statistician for the analysis of data. Am I wrong? (it is my personal opinion)
We need to understand that there has to be this middle point where a clinician is proficient to some extent in statistics and to a point where clinician can give interpretation of a clinical study.
While on the other hand it's best to leave statistical load on the statistician as a matter of delegation of work.
However clinicians who have formal education in research definitely have an edge over others.
Teaching methods, strategies, and focus of statistics subjects for medical students can always be modified and enhanced to meet their needs. Statistics is an important field of study for medical sciences and helps determine clinical and statistical significance of evidence-based medical treatments and therapeutic techniques.
That's why the role of Bio/ medical statistician is important, as a good Biostatistician make it easy, and discusses in understandable language.
