Statistics and health research are closely related. Statistical methods and analysis are essential components in any research field and have acquired a relevant role in recent decades. In this context, the Universidad P´ublica de Navarra offered a summer course entitled “”Statistics in Health Sciences. A look from research” in order to divulge the role of statistics in health sciences research. To this end, health research professionals with extensive experience, with different backgrounds and areas of professional interest (academic, health, epidemiological or statistical) were convened to present their vision of the topic. All participants agreed on the need of setting multidisciplinary teams, including health and statistician professionals, and greater synergy between the health and academic fields.
The statistical profile is becoming more relevant role within health research teams, especially after the acquisition of complementary skills in epidemiology and public health.
