Familiarity with experimental design and statistical analysis techniques is necessary for investigators to conduct state-of-the-art research in clinical medicine. A wide range of options for biostatistical training is available. These include formal academic courses for credit, one-on-one education offered under the guise of consultation, self-paced textbook or computer learning, intensive short courses, portions of extended courses spanning an assortment of other subjects, and a continuing series of seminars or lectures covering selected topics in statistics. The latter structure is described in this article. We offered an eight-week lecture series focusing on a new topic in biostatistics each week. The course targeted clinical faculty, postdoctoral fellows, residents, and other interested research staff at a large medical research institution. The series focused on interpretation of medical journal articles with regard to statistical issues. Another objective was to provide information to increase a participant's expertise in the design of research studies. Guidance was offered for effective communication with collaborating biostatisticians. The format and contents of the seminar series are described. Aspects of the course that proved to be successful are discussed.
