Statistics

Dr. Ed Gracely, pre-clinical curriculum coordinator and biostatistics/epidemiology course director, received his Ph.D. in Quantitative Psychology from Temple University in 1986 and has been a faculty member at what was then MCP, and is now Drexel University College of Medicine, since then.

Dr. Gracely teaches statistics and research design to medical students in the traditional as well as the problem-based learning tracks, gives talks to residents and fellows, provides consultation to researchers in a wide range of basic science and clinical fields, serves on the editorial boards of both Pain and Pain Medicine, and has a substantial number of publications reflecting collaborative work with primary researchers. His research interests include the logic of multiple comparisons, statistics education, and ethical philosophy.

Dr. Gracely is a member of the American Statistical Association, a friend (and former member) of the ASA's Committee on Human Rights and Scientific Freedom, and the editor of the newsletter for the Section on Teaching Statistics in the Health Sciences. He has a joint appointment in the Drexel School of Public Health, where he has been involved almost since its inception, playing a substantial role in the design and implementation of the M.D./MPH curriculum and the original statistics and epidemiology blocks in Year-1. He is currently course director and instructor in the School of Public Health Introduction to Biostatistics course, member of the School of Public Health Educational Coordinating Committee, and Chair of the CBMP (Masters project) Oversight Committee.
