Many of the technological advances that physicians use every day are products of the concerted efforts of scientists, engineers, and mathematicians. One of the most common scenarios for the use of mathematics in medicine relates to statistics and probability for determining drug efficacy, or estimating survival in patients with chronic illness on therapy. Wherever you go in medicine—whether you are critically evaluating the latest research or describing probabilities to patients in terms they might understand—a solid grasp of mathematics will be crucial in patient care. In some fields of medicine, more advanced mathematics is often necessary.
