Professional Development

Professional development is a fundamental part of the professional life of statisticians, increasing the value of their contributions to society. To meet your continuing education needs, the ASA offers courses and computer technology workshops in statistical methodology and practice at JSM.

Continuing Education (CE) Courses
We offer short courses in methodology and practice to keep you abreast of new techniques and theory and help you stay connected with best practices, grow in areas not previously studied (or refresh forgotten material), and gather ideas and direction for future research.

Computer Technology Workshops (CTWs)
We offer workshops in technology to help you learn about new computational techniques and software so you can stay on top of trends in technology.
