When I was in medical school 4 decades ago, the bugbear of a subject was SPM ( social and preventive medicine. only a few unfortunate souls who could't get in to lucrative postgraduate specialities used to end up in nonclinical specializations and in that SPM was the last choice.
So you can expect the caliber of teachers of this most important subject for keeping a population healthy.
Most students paid no attention to the lecturer and were using the time to other things.
the only time SPM professors had any respect and power was when we had to take the final exams.
now after spending all theses years in clinical surgery and medicine. I feel in order to make a large difference in the health of a population preventive medicine plays a great part.
Biostatistics lay at the heart of this speciality and very little is taught in medical schools in india.
and those who are teaching the rudiments of this make the subject so boring students either doze off in the class or walkout. i am trying to relearn biostatistics, which is fascinating to me .
we are increasingly neglecting this low cost solution and this is leading to galloping healthcare costs across the world. the emerging economies are going to face this pretty soon if they don't wake up and look in to this .
Two countries china and India who comprise a major segment of the global population should put their efforts in to this and people of those countries should stop feeling physical work is for the lower class and being fat is a sign of prosperity we will be able to save Billions ( that is with a B) of healthcare dollars.
Today’s increasingly complex surveillance systems require advanced data analysis and data management support. To adjust for missing data, account for confounders through multivariate modeling, and formally assess trends and clusters that may necessitate input from individuals with advanced training in biostatistics.
