It runs across multiple days and progresses from data fundamentals through exploratory data analysis to applied statistical methods, using realistic clinical datasets so participants work on problems close to their own. Approach The series combines Quarto Reveal.js slide decks, demonstration datasets, hands-on exercises, and a participant handbook. https://arunmitra.com/training/workshops/idm-r-workshop/ Thu, 01 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://arunmitra.com/training/workshops/idm-r-workshop/ Background This R-based workshop on Infectious Disease Modeling (IDM) was delivered as the Pre-Conference Workshop on Infectious Disease Modeling at JHAPSMCON-2026, organised by AIIMS Deoghar. It is aimed at learners who want to build practical infectious-disease-modeling skills in R through collaborative, small-group modeling activities. Approach The workshop is organised around group activity scripts (group1.R through group4.R), with each group working through a guided infectious-disease-modeling exercise in R. https://arunmitra.com/training/workshops/spatial-epidemiology-r/ Sun, 14 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://arunmitra.com/training/workshops/spatial-epidemiology-r/ Background Spatial epidemiology offers powerful tools for understanding the geographic patterning of health and disease, but practical, code-based training opportunities remain scarce in India. This hands-on workshop targets public-health researchers, epidemiologists, and students, and is delivered by a team of facilitators: Dr. Biju Soman (SCTIMST), Dr. Arun Mitra (AIIMS Bibinagar), Dr. Manikanda Nesan (ICMR-NIE Chennai), and Dr. Adrija Roy. Approach The workshop runs in a structured 4-day format combining lectures with guided coding in R. https://arunmitra.com/training/workshops/r-for-hta/ Tue, 09 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://arunmitra.com/training/workshops/r-for-hta/ Background Health technology assessment (HTA) informs decisions about which health technologies to adopt and fund, but it depends on rigorous, reproducible decision-analytic and economic modelling that few clinicians and policy-makers are formally trained to perform. R offers a free, transparent, and fully reproducible environment for building these models end to end. This Workshop on Health Technology Assessment (HTA) using R was designed to give participants practical, code-based skills in health-economic modelling, lowering the barrier to conducting credible HTA. https://arunmitra.com/training/workshops/ai-for-statistical-analysis/ Wed, 01 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://arunmitra.com/training/workshops/ai-for-statistical-analysis/ Background AI tools are rapidly reshaping how analysts approach statistical work, yet many researchers lack a practical, critical framework for using them well. This workshop was designed for researchers, statisticians, and data scientists who want to understand where AI can responsibly support the statistical analysis workflow. It assumes basic familiarity with R and statistical concepts. Approach The session is delivered as an interactive Quarto Reveal. https://arunmitra.com/training/workshops/r-workshop-bioengineer/ Wed, 01 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://arunmitra.com/training/workshops/r-workshop-bioengineer/ Background Getting started with R and reproducible reporting can be a barrier for newcomers who have little or no prior programming experience. This introductory workshop was designed to give participants a gentle, practical first step into R and Quarto, so they can produce clean, reproducible reports from their own analyses. Approach The session is a hands-on, introductory walkthrough that builds a first Quarto document from the ground up. https://arunmitra.com/training/workshops/data-management-tot/ Fri, 01 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000 https://arunmitra.com/training/workshops/data-management-tot/ Background Building regional capacity in data management requires not just trained analysts but trainers who can pass on good practice. This training-of-trainers (ToT) sits within the “Digital Platforms for Disease Surveillance and Control: Best Practices from Asia (DMgt Asia)” initiative and is designed for cascade delivery, preparing trainers to teach data management and data science within their own institutions. It is aimed at prospective trainers and senior analysts who will go on to deliver this material onward. 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. https://arunmitra.com/training/workshops/gis-for-public-health/ Sat, 27 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000 https://arunmitra.com/training/workshops/gis-for-public-health/ Background Public-health practitioners increasingly need to work with geographic data, yet most have limited exposure to spatial methods. This flagship recurring workshop series introduces GIS and spatial data science to public-health professionals, researchers, and students, using open-source tools and reproducible workflows. No prior GIS experience is assumed. Approach Delivered as a hands-on Quarto-based course built entirely in R, the curriculum moves from foundational concepts of spatial data science to applied analysis. https://arunmitra.com/training/workshops/gis-for-epidemiology/ Tue, 28 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000 https://arunmitra.com/training/workshops/gis-for-epidemiology/ Background Epidemiological data are inherently spatial, yet spatial analysis remains underused in routine practice and training. This workshop equips epidemiologists and public-health researchers with practical spatial methods to map, explore, and analyse disease data, building on classic examples such as the John Snow cholera investigation and modern outbreak datasets. Approach The course is delivered as a Quarto website with structured sessions in R.
