Abstract:

Is Pharmaceutical Statistical Programmer the right career for you? The answer can be at least partially determined by considering the set of inherent and acquired skills often used in this profession, and comparing these to your own skill base. The authors of this paper have been in the industry for a combination of 35 years and have observed many successful and not-so-successful pharmaceutical statistical programmers. This paper is a compilation of our experiences and expresses our opinions of the skills needed and best suited for the role of pharmaceutical statistical programmer. It can help you identify your skill gaps and describe what you can do about them.
