Neely, Megan L.; Troy, Jesse D.; Gschwind, Gerald T.; Pomann, Gina-Maria; Grambow, Steven C.; Samsa, Gregory P. – Journal of Curriculum and Teaching, 2022
We describe an innovative preorientation curriculum (POC) for a Master of Biostatistics (MB) program. The goal of the POC is to fill critical skills gaps for students entering the MB program from heterogeneous backgrounds so they are prepared to engage in the program's rigorous, fast-paced training upon arrival. To achieve this goal, we introduce…
