  • Scrubbing In - ep2: Mastering Statistics for the FRCS

    Welcome to another episode of Scrubbing In! Alan and Fahad are diving deep into a topic that often elicits a fair bit of apprehension among surgical trainees: statistical methodology for FRCS exams.

    In this episode, we simplify and demystify statistics in academia and explain the essential concepts you'll need to nail your exams. Our discussion ranges from P-values and their significance in medical research to understanding the difference between sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value, odds ratio and relative risk. We even touch on the fundamentals like mean, median, and mode.
    Are you struggling with understanding statistical methodology? Then, this podcast episode is for you!
