Hands On Clinical Reporting Using R

Coursera course (~19h) - Clinical Reporting in R

Screenshot

The aim of this course is to introduce learners to open-source R packages that can be used to perform clinical data reporting tasks. The main emphasis of the course will be the clinical data flow from raw data (both CRF and non-CRF) to SDTM to ADaM to final outputs. While several open-source tools to complete these tasks will be introduced, the objective of this course is not to become an expert in any of these tools but rather to introduce participants to the broader concepts behind these tasks. That way the tools simply serve as an example of how the underlying concepts could be put into action in code.
