It is suggested that the emphasis on teaching statistics to medical undergraduates has usually been quite wrong: that the courses have become much too long, too detailed, and irrelevant to the needs of the majority. Examples are given which may help to introduce the basic concepts which all medical (and dental) undergraduates require, and which form a basis for the more traditional teaching of analytical methods to the appropriate subset who proceed to undertake medical research.
有人认为，对医学本科生进行统计学教学的重点通常是完全错误的：课程变得太长、太详细，而且与大多数人的需求无关。文中给出了一些例子，这些例子可能有助于介绍所有医学（和牙科）本科生都需要的基本概念，这些概念构成了对继续进行医学研究的合适子集进行更传统的分析方法教学的基础。
