Abstract:

Statisticians now have formal professional recognition in UK, Australia, and Canada. The ISI is considering a similar step. Statistical Society of Canada (SSC) Accreditation of Professional Statisticians operates under recently approved Canadian Federal Trademarks, P.Stat. (Professional Statistician) and A.Stat. (Associate Statistician). There was a general opening for P.Stat. in March, 2004. With sufficient P.Stat. approved to be mentors for A.Stat., there was a first call for A.Stat. applications in June, 2006. This panelist was Chair of SSC Accreditation Committee at the time when Accreditation was opened, and will outline placement of SSC Accreditation in a multi-disciplinary and international framework.
