How can you possibly say that? Are you familiar with the course prerequisites for every biology and medicine degree in the world off the top of your head?
- niels_olson 11y agoMedical school hopefuls are a major source, probably the major source, of biology undergrads, and the pre-reqs for medical school, with few exceptions, are standardized under the AAMC. It's 2 semesters of calc, no stats required. And quite frankly, the PPV trope is just that, a trope. The biostatisticians found a little trick to lord over their masters. If you only have 15 seconds to solve after reading the question, and you know you only do this once every 6 months, and you know most people get it wrong, answer C, next question. Christ, the story that docs suck at stats is part of medical education. They don't teach biostatistics, they teach "you suck at biostats".
