Abstract:
This paper reviews the current status of teaching both undergraduate and post-graduate doctors in the UK. An example is given of the way both areas are covered at the University of Sheffield UK. The use of topical subjects to interest students is described. The future of teaching medical statistics, the way it may be delivered and its links with Evidence Based Medicine are discussed.
