SENSITIVITY & SPECIFICITY EXPLAINED! Today we're going to start a little series about statistics in healthcare. Statistics is usually a topic that polarizes - some love it, most hate it. We hope we can make studying a bit easier for you and maybe we can even get you to like this topic!?;) Check the video below so you finally get it! P.S. In tomorrow's video we're going to show you how to calculate sens & specs with a 4x4 table - for some it's easier to learn those termes with calculations! | Phy
