6. Follow us @nccmt Suivez-nous @ccnmo Implications for Practice NCCMT users “...excellent introduction to the modules – very helpful for new staff who would otherwise be reluctant to go into a detailed learning module.” Practitioners in the field “These are a great, quick way to help people understand challenging statistical concepts. I use them in my journal club meetings before going into more depth with a research article.” “Although, I am familiar with many of these terms from my university days … having access to these video series enables me to brush up on my previous learning.” Educators in post-secondary institutions “I regularly use the wonderful resources provided on the NCCMT website in my work, and share them with my students in the public health classes I teach.” 6
