Abstract

A recently published AM Last Page presents five common methodological pitfalls of experimental research in medical education. In this Last Page, we present four statistical pitfalls and their more appropriate alternatives. Pitfalls are illustrated with a case of a fictitious researcher who conducts a study with elements that are common in many medical education experiments.
