Officers of the ASA Biopharmaceutical Section invite section members to join the 2023 Mentoring Program.

Networking can be challenging, but it is beneficial. Meeting others in the 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 Biopharmaceutical Section has created a mentoring program based on the mentoring blueprint created by the Committee on Applied Statisticians.

The goal of the program is to help members enrich their professional experience by sharing their knowledge and experience with someone entering the statistics profession. A constructive mentorship relationship can take many forms and occur at any stage of one’s career, with benefits for both the mentor and mentee. More than 150 people have participated in the section’s mentoring program since its launch in 2014.

The section provides hands-on resources for mentors and mentees to facilitate their interactions. Information related to the mentoring activities and additional resources are available on the Biopharmaceutical Section website.

Are you interested in becoming a mentor to a statistician? Are you a potential mentee? Do you know 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.
