Learn "advanced basics" of statistics?

I'm a physicist and would like to prepare for a job interview where the job is to do statistical analysis and optimization of models for medical data or so. The firm does consulting for pharmaceutical companies.

Anyway, I know the very basics of statistics, of course. Can anyone recommend some online information (or book) which I could study to sound more clever at the job interview? :)
It should cover important concepts in a concise way.

I couldn't find another forum to post this to. The Lessons one seems locked. Suggestions welcome.

To learn the "advanced basics" of statistics, we recommend starting with an introduction to probability theory and statistics. This will give you a good overview of basic statistical concepts such as sampling, estimation, hypothesis testing, and correlation. After this, you can move on to more specialized topics such as linear regression, non-parametric methods, analysis of variance, and time series analysis. A number of textbooks are available online to help you get started. We also recommend looking into online courses that cover topics in more depth than a traditional textbook. These courses often include interactive exercises and video lectures from experienced instructors. Some examples of courses include HarvardX's Statistics and Data Analysis, Udacity's Introduction to Statistics and Data Science, and Coursera's Introduction to Statistics with R. Finally, there are many excellent websites and blogs that provide helpful tutorials and resources for learning statistics. Examples include Khan Academy, Stat Trek, and OpenIntro. These are great resources for brushing up on your knowledge or learning something new.
