Practice Makes Perfect: Training and Performing in the Pharmaceutical Industry

Overview Within the pharmaceutical industry, there is a constant demand for skilled and qualified professionals at all levels. While getting into the pharmaceutical industry and climbing the corporate ladder is not easy, it can be done. Specifically, pharmaceutical companies and CROs should create career paths that strategically position entry level SAS statistical programmers to junior and then to senior/management level positions. Motivated SAS programmers need to be prepared to meet the growing technical and management challenges. Initially, a comprehensive instructor led training program needs to be followed by on-the-job training and then effective management and communication classes, for example. This process enables pharmaceutical companies and CROs to successfully grow in this very competitive global environment.
