Teaching statistics to medical students is a challenging and often unrewarding task. However, few would argue the need for statistics in the medical school curriculum. In recent years, there has been a growing call for teaching only statistical concepts in medical schools. We strongly oppose this opinion and offer an alternative approach. In this article, we present our experience in teaching statistics to medical students at the Sackler School of Medicine, Tel-Aviv University, Israel. We then present the results of a recently held survey regarding the long-term contribution of the statistical curriculum to our students in different phases of their studies. We conclude by suggesting a new integrative statistical program, which incorporates the study of statistics into the entire medical curriculum.
向医学生教授统计学是一项具有挑战性且往往得不到回报的任务。然而，很少有人会反对医学院课程中统计学的必要性。近年来，越来越多的人呼吁医学院只教授统计概念。我们强烈反对这种观点，并提供一种替代方法。在本文中，我们介绍了在以色列特拉维夫大学萨克勒医学院向医学生教授统计学的经验。然后，我们展示了最近进行的一项关于统计课程对我们学生在不同学习阶段的长期贡献的调查结果。我们通过提出一个新的综合统计项目来得出结论，该项目将统计学学习纳入整个医学课程。
