Does the requirement regarding having a math class apply to practicing physicians?
As noted above, success in biostatistics requires good math skills. Our requirement is a college-level degree course (or equivalent) which is typically about 45 hours of class time. Most medical schools do not provide that many hours of biostatistics. If you are in doubt about your math skills, you should take the WSU Math Department’s placement exam to evaluate your proficiency. More information is available at: http://www.math.wayne.
