The Biopharmaceutical Section invites all section members to participate in the 2018 mentoring program.

Networking can be challenging but beneficial. Meeting others in our profession can help us quickly learn the ropes, improve our careers, and contribute to the statistics profession. Finding a mentor has its challenges and, keeping that in mind, the Biopharmaceutical Section has created a mentoring program based on the mentoring blueprint created by the Committee on Applied Statisticians. More than 100 people have participated in our mentoring program since 2014.

Mentee Wenlin Yuan has this to say about the program:

And mentor Greg Ball says this about his experience:

The goal of this program is to help members further enrich their professional experience through achieving personal and professional goals. This may occur through sharing knowledge and experience between a professional practitioner and someone entering the profession. A constructive mentoring relationship can take many forms and occur at any stage of one’s career with benefits for both the mentor and mentee.

We will provide hands-on resources for mentors and mentees to facilitate their interactions. Information related to the mentoring activities and additional resources for mentors and mentees is available via the Biopharmaceutical Section website.

Are you interested in becoming a mentor and helping fellow biopharmaceutical statisticians? Are you a potential mentee, or can you nominate a statistician who may be looking for a mentorship program? If so, email your contact information to biopharmmentoring@gmail.com with “Biopharmaceutical Section Mentoring Program” in the subject line.
