Outline and Purpose of the Course This training facilitates a hands-on understanding of how the statistical thinking acquired in the Clinical Statistician Training course can be applied to real-word situations through practical training at a hospital. From this practical experience, students will understand the roles and responsibilities of test statisticians in clinical trials, and will be equipped with the fundamental capabilities (attitude, skills, knowledge) necessary for one to plan, conduct, and report on clinical trials as a test statistician. Clinical Research On-Site Practicum II continues from I, and offers more advanced content. Training will take place at two locations: Kyoto University Hospital and the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center. Students are asked to choose the facility they wish to train at in advance. Training at the Kyoto University Hospital mainly comprises planning and conducting clinical trials for the development of innovative new medical technologies (pharmaceuticals, etc.). Training takes place at two locations: Kyoto University Hospital and the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center. Details of the training will be published on the website.
Course Goals * Understand the process of planning and conducting clinical trials, the operation and system for carrying out clinical trials, and the roles and areas of responsibility of researchers, research assistants, and test statisticians.
* Understand the statistical items that are to be included in clinical trial protocols and obtain the fundamental knowledge and techniques needed in order to contribute to the creation of clinical trial protocols.
* Gain fundamental knowledge and skills to plan and carry out a statistical analysis appropriately and summarize the results.
* Understand the fundamentals of research ethics and conflicts of interest in clinical trials and the protection of personal data, and learn to contribute to the planning and execution of reliable clinical trials.
* Learn to use various explanatory methods and means and the attitudes and methods to convey statistical concepts in clinical trials in a way that is easily understood.
