Epidemiology is a cornerstone for the practice of evidence-based medicine, but for the sake of medical licensing exams, only the very basics are “high yield knowledge.” Rather than having to sift through PowerPoint slides or a textbook, I compiled a one page handout of must-know-facts for the boards while preparing for USMLE Step 3 (though it still applies to Steps 1 and 2). Hopefully this helps people looking for a quick summary of basic biostatistics. :-)

Always love your reference sheets for the ICU/Anesthesia! Thanks for sharing this too! Best stats one I’ve found for quick reference.

Thank you for the kind words, Julia! Glad you found these references helpful!

There is a mistake in your worksheet. Specificity has NOTHING to do with NPV and Sensitivity has NOTHING to do with PPV. They are unrelated. Please correct that for others.
-
Sorry you wrote “High Spec = high PPV and High Sens = High NPV” That’s still wrong since sens and spec do no say anything about what the denominator of NPV and PPV will be.

I’ll look into this when I get a chance.
