Free (and not so free) online resources

This is a review of online biostatistics links and resources. Some of them are free; some others are not, although they are worth the money.

An Opencourseware free course offered by the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. They also offer two courses on Methods in Biostatistics:
and fundamentals of epidemiology:

The OpenCourseWare (OCW) is an initiative started by the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It is a free collection of courses previously lectured at the MIT. A great idea followed by other universities. MIT OCW offers a broad array of courses on many disciplines, and they have this course titled “Introduction to probability and Statistics”. Free of charge.

Another OCW resource, this time from Tufts University. Highly recommendable.

An online course from Harvard, titled Elements of Clinical Investigation. Charge ranges from $1,025 (non-credit) to $1950 (if you are aiming for graduate credit).

An introductory course on Statistics from Harvard. Same price as above.

A 785$ course offered by the University of California Berkeley. You can enroll anytime, and have 6 months to finish it.

A bilingual course (in English and Spanish) by Dr. Nicolas Padilla Raygoza, a Mexican pediatrician and epidemiologist. Free.

Two free online courses from the Carnegie Mellon University. One is on Probability and Statistics and the other on Statistical Reasoning. You need to log in to take them, but at no charge.
