Coming to clinic? Email our statisticians, preferably two days in advance.

The clinics are open to all members of the Vanderbilt and Meharry communities who have methodologic questions about their research projects or about published articles. Mentors should attend with post-docs and students. Attendees should select the appropriate clinic day according to the above schedule. The Tuesday clinic is co-staffed and sponsored by the Department of Biomedical Informatics.

If you have a relatively simple dataset to be analyzed and the analysis can be concluded during the clinic, send your data at least two days in advance to biostat-clinic@list.vanderbilt.edu and state which clinic you will attend. Preferred formats are R save files, SPSS save files, Stata data files, and comma separated files ( csv files) exported from a spreadsheet or other software, with variable names in the first record. All subject identifiers must be removed from files before sending them to us (please see the Data De-identification Checklist). Click here for information about readying data for analysis.
