Public Health Biostatistics - Georgia Southern University

Public Health Biostatistics from Georgia Southern University is a Campus Master Biomedical degree that prepares you for a Science career. Mission The mission of the Master of Public Health (M.P.H.) degree - Biostatistics program concentration is to prepare individuals to function as applied biostatisticians in public health and biomedical related fields. Biostatistics is the development and application of statistical reasoning and methods in addressing, analyzing and solving problems in public health, health care, biomedical, clinical and population-based research. Students completing an M.P.H. in Biostatistics degree within the Jiann-Ping Hsu College of Public Health at Georgia Southern University will be able to serve the community, region, state, nation, or world through governmental, private, and academic sectors by utilizing his/her biostatistical skills gained in order to help solve public health and biomedical problems in rural and urban environments. MPH - Biostatistics Concentration Competencies At the completion of the M.P.H. degree program all Biostatistics students will be able to: 1. Construct a public health and biomedical research question from ideas, conditions, and events that exist in a rural and urban community, region, state, and nation using critical thinking skills. 2. Identify objectives of a public health and biomedical research question. 3. Express objectives in the appropriate biostatistical framework such as hypothesis testing, estimation, and prediction. 4. Evaluate objectives of a public health research question to ensure the appropriate type of data is collected for analysis. 5. Design an experiment or survey pertaining to a public health and biomedical research question in order to collect the data needed to meet objectives of public health research. 6. Apply appropriate statistical tools and software in order to analyze data. 7. Demonstrate use of Statistical Analysis System (SAS) to input, manage, merge, export, and conduct analysis on public health and biomedical data. 8. Analyze data using appropriate categorical analysis techniques to obtain valid and reliable results. 9. Analyze quantitative data using appropriate biostatistical methods such as simple and multiple regression and clinical trial methodology. 10. Develop a protocol for conducting a clinical trial. 11. Describe key concepts and theory underlying biostatistical methodology used in probability and inferential, analytical, and descriptive statistics. 12. Interpret results of biostatistical analyses so that valid and reliable conclusions regarding a public health and biomedical research question may be drawn from the analyses. 13. Develop written and oral reports to communicate effectively to research investigators pivotal aspects of a study, including its design, objectives, data, analysis methods, results, and conclusions. 14.
