Perhaps in the short time you have, it may be appropriate to give your students the

power to ask statisticians the appropriate research questions "in natural language".

 

In this regard your medical residents should expect their support statisticians to

use the combined POWER OF COMPUTERS and GENERAL LINEAR MODELS/REGRESSION (and other

computer aided techniques; e.g. Resampling, Bootstrap, Simulation,

to answer useful, non-trivial research questions.

 

Your residents may not need to know how to do it themselves, but it would be great if they

can communicate with those who can help.

| Take a look at Harvey Motulsky's book "Intuitive Biostatistics."  It's
