I could be 100% wrong, but I'm quite confused. Is one of the subsets of an MPH learning how to create clinical trials, how to interpret statistics of them, critiquing, etc?
MPH: Clinical trial creation, critiquing?

At BU there are classes for clinical trials design. These kinds of classes fall under Biostats.

In pharmacy school we had to take a clinical epidemiology class where we did the very thing you mention. This program might be something that is offered by an epi program idk.
I took a "public health" class, taught by someone who shouldn't be teaching kindergarteners. I guess I missed that opportunity. I'll check around for something else, but if you guys have specific websites I can look over, much appreciated. I know I can google it, but specific sites are better.

Great starter book and easy to follow.Easy to self-teach. But not a whole lot of methods or biostatistics in this book. More focused on intro to trials and goes over the types, biases,critique etc. Good intro book but not useful if you already have some background knowledge and trying to dwell deeper.
