The course is taught by Professor Hywel Williams in collaboration with epidemiologists and statisticians from The University of Nottingham.
Dermatological examples are used to illustrate concepts throughout the course. Although the 2022 course will be held on-line, it will still be taught in a synchronous manner and be highly interactive with small group learning. The course has been split across three weeks to avoid on-line learning fatigue and although hard work it will be good fun!

The main taught elements of dermato-epidemiology and statistics are part of the UK specialist trainee curriculum (see the BAD website).
The course may also appeal to consultants who wish to improve their skills at critically appraising published clinical trials and also statistics in general.
Overseas dermatology trainees are always welcome, including those from a veterinary background.
