This foundational teaching module, developed for students at the Institute of Public Health (IPH), introduces health data science from first principles with an emphasis on reproducible, applied analysis. Approach The module is taught in R using the tidyverse, combining structured exercises with collaborative group activities. https://arunmitra.com/training/workshops/nwhda-mangalagiri/ Thu, 03 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0000 https://arunmitra.com/training/workshops/nwhda-mangalagiri/ Background Clinicians and public-health professionals increasingly need to analyse their own data, yet most lack formal training in reproducible, code-based analytics. This National Workshop on Health Data Analytics using R was designed to close that gap, giving practitioners a practical foundation in the modern R toolchain. The event ran as Cohort 2 of the national programme, hosted at AIIMS Mangalagiri. Approach The workshop was delivered over three days of structured, hands-on sessions that combined concept introductions with guided coding in R.
