In Spring 2022, the Office of Academic Affairs and Student Services and the Department of Biostatistics and Data Science, in collaboration with the SPH Library & Graduate Communication Center, announced the creation of Quantitative & Biostatistical Tutoring Services (QBTS).
The overall goal of QBTS is to help students develop the quantitative reasoning and biostatistical skills that are foundational to the theory and practice of biostatistics. Specifically, QBTS provides tutoring services to students who are enrolled in Introduction to Biostatistics (PH 1690) and Intermediate Biostatistics (PH 1700), as well as to all students who need support in learning basic statistical/biostatistical concepts and performing basic statistical analyses using Stata.
To accomplish this goal, QBTS employs two highly qualified graduate assistants who work one-on-one with students in a typical tutoring-type setting. Students who need or want to improve their competency in quantitative reasoning and biostatistics are welcome to make appointments. Faculty are encouraged to refer students as well. Students can schedule an appointment with a QBTS tutor by clicking on the Fall 2023 QBTS schedule in the UTHealth SPH appointment system. For more information, email the SPH Library & Graduate Communication Center at SPHLibrary@uth.tmc.edu.
