The UNC Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology is proud to expand its role as a leader in research, dedicated to advancing patient care, improving treatment outcomes, and driving innovation. To support this mission, Dr. Vanessa Miller has developed a year-long data analysis course tailored for OBGYN clinicians actively involved in research. The course equips participants with the skills needed to interpret complex datasets, apply statistical methods, and utilize software tools to inform clinical and laboratory decision-making.<\/p>\n

Now in its second year, the course includes six afternoon seminars spread over eight months. Topics range from basic statistical principles to advanced techniques such as linear and logistic regression and time-to-event analysis using Stata. The curriculum combines foundational instruction with hands-on workshops that allow participants to immediately apply new concepts to real-world OBGYN datasets.<\/p>\n

Assignments throughout the course are designed to help learners build toward a complete abstract and, ultimately, a manuscript for submission to a peer-reviewed journal. Originally focused on OBGYN fellows, the program has expanded to include Advanced Practice Providers (APPs), broadening its impact across the department. Participants are encouraged to collaborate with departmental research mentors to develop research questions, manage datasets, perform analyses, and effectively communicate their findings. To support these efforts, the department provides access to statistical software licenses and relevant textbooks.<\/p>\n

The inaugural cohort completed the course in June 2024, with seven fellows fulfilling all requirements. Several have since presented their work at national and international conferences and published in peer-reviewed journals. The current cohort shared interim results in April and is preparing to submit final capstone papers in May for faculty review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
