Event Abstract

This one-day event is tailored for early-career medical statisticians, including graduate students and PhD candidates or those in the first few years of their career, seeking to expand their professional network and explore future career pathways. The morning will be dedicated to networking activities, providing attendees with the opportunity to connect with peers and professionals from both academia and industry.

The afternoon program features a variety of talks and workshops, including a panel discussion on careers in medical statistics, where speakers will share their experiences and answer any questions attendees may have. A hands-on statistical workshop will address a current important topic in the medical statistics field—Bayesian analysis—offering attendees the chance to upskill and gain practical experience on how Bayesian methods are applied in real-world clinical trial settings. And finally, an interactive debate tables session providing attendees with the opportunity to explore, discuss, and challenge perspectives on some of the hot topics shaping the medical statistics field today.

To close the day, we're gauging interest in an informal after-work networking event to continue conversations in a relaxed setting.
