Abstract:
|
As acknowledgment of the value of statistics in medical research expands, the need for statistical services grows. This will be an informative discussion for statisticians involved in consulting services at academic medical centers and for those considering such involvement. The organizer designed and directed two consulting services at an academic center associated with Harvard Medical School, with different operating models and fee structures. One had a large number of independent consultants over six years. The other had a smaller number of statisticians on staff for three years so far. Participants involved in consulting services will have the opportunity to describe their experiences. Attendees will learn what works and what does not and benefit from the experiences of the group in creating and/or participating in consulting services at academic medical centers.
