Statistics is an area of weakness for me. With it being a huge part of the BCPS exam and needed for future research, I am considering taking a MOOC from Stanford on Medical Statistics during residency. The link is below. It is a nine week class (8 of which would be during residency). I would be finished with the class before I would start staffing. What are your thoughts? Thanks.

I think that the BCPS preparatory material adequately prepares you for the stats portion. No need to take a class and make yourself suffer even more during residency.

Might be a good idea...less so for BCPS, more so for your Western/Eastern states project. Don't want to look like a ******* at the podium if you get some questions on your statistical analysis (I got like two of them).

Not looking forward to that part.
