Clinical SAS + R Bootcamp

Why Should You Take

Clinical SAS

Learn clinical programming in the two languages pharma uses today. Build SDTM, ADaM and TLF outputs in SAS, rebuild them in R, and compare the results, live online with Neha Jain.

Built for pharma careers, from first job to next role

  • Pharmacy, life-science, statistics and medical graduates starting a career in clinical programming.

  • Clinical SAS programmers whose teams now also work in R.

  • Clinical data managers and biostatisticians moving into programming.

  • Career switchers from IT or analytics who want to work in pharma and CROs.

Why SAS and R together (short paragraph under the list): SAS is still the standard for clinical trial programming and regulatory submissions. Alongside it, more pharma teams now use R and the open-source pharmaverse packages, such as admiral for ADaM datasets and rtables for tables. Programmers who can work in both are easier to hire and harder to replace.
