The Biopharmaceutical Section is pleased to introduce a mentoring program for the enhanced benefit of its members!
Networking can be challenging but is beneficial. Meeting others in our profession can help us quickly learn the ropes, improve our careers, and contribute to statistical profession. Finding a mentor has its challenges and keeping that in mind, the Biopharmaceutical Section is initiating the mentoring program based on the mentoring blueprint created by the Committee on Applied Statisticians.
The goal of this initiative is to help members further enrich and enhance their professional experience through achieving personal and professional goals. This may commonly occur through sharing of knowledge and experience between a professional practitioner and someone entering the profession of statistics. A constructive mentorship relationship can take many forms and may occur at any stage of career with benefits for both mentor and a 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 will also be made available via Biopharm website in future (http://community.amstat.org/BioP/aboutus/mentoringprogram).
Currently we are looking for mentors and mentees for this mentoring program. Are you interested in becoming a mentor to a statistician and helping initiate this program? Are you a potential mentee, or can you nominate a statistician who may be looking for a mentorship program? If so, please email contact info to the (biopharmmentoring@gmail.com) with the subject: "Biopharm Section Mentoring Program". It would be helpful if you also send a resume to help us match mentors and mentees by June 15. Please contact Amarjot Kaur (Amarjot_kaur@merck.com) or Jennifer Gauvin (jennifer.ls.gauvin@gsk.com) if you need any additional information or clarification related to this program.
