Abstract:

While graduate schools and many professional workshops provide training opportunities for technical skills, technical skills are only one part of the many skills a statistician needs to possess to be successful in an industry highly committed to the multidisciplinary team approach. We will focus on attributes that pharmaceutical statisticians should cultivate and steps we could take to maximize our effectiveness and success.
