Networking can be challenging, but it is beneficial. Meeting others in our profession can help us quickly learn the ropes, improve our careers, and contribute to the statistical profession. Finding a mentor has its challenges and, keeping that in mind, the 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 the mentoring program since its launch in 2014.

The goal of this program is to help members further enrich their professional experience through achieving personal and professional goals. A constructive mentorship relationship can take many forms and may occur at any stage of one’s career, with benefits for both the mentor and the mentee.

The section will provide hands-on resources for mentors and mentees to facilitate their interactions. Learn more about mentoring activities and find additional resources for mentors and mentees on the BIOP mentoring page.

Both potential mentors and mentees should email their contact information to biopharmmentoring@gmail.com with “Biopharmaceutical Section Mentoring Program” in the subject line.
