The goal of this capstone unit of study is to give students practical experience in a health and medical research work setting. The focus is on the application of the knowledge and skills learnt during the coursework Master's program. Students will learn to address the types of challenges that the practising biostatistician and their collaborators typically face. Projects can be created or provided in the student’s workplace or by a researcher, research group, or institution. Projects should be selected that allow students to consolidate the concepts and theories learnt throughout core and elective coursework units, providing providing opportunities to extend this knowledge, and be challenged as they would be in biostatisticalpractice. The project should involve analysing real-world data to answer one or more substantive research questions using appropriate statistical methods. The statistical analyses conducted by the student must will typically include multivariable regression modelling or a statistical problem of similar complexity. Given that effective communication is an important part of a biostatistician’s role in the workplace, students will give an oral presentation describing their methods and results and provide a written report.
