ABSTRACT: Statistical consulting is generally a small component of a biostatistician’s
training, despite the fact that it may be a large part of their work post-graduation.
Standard textbooks and structures for statistical theory and methods courses exist.
However, analogous resources, formats, and approaches for formal statistical consulting
courses can be sparse and may vary in quality, relevance, acceptability, and current state
of the art. Additionally, instruction in statistical consulting often occurs outside of a
usual classroom setting, to support experiential student learning. Didactic training can
also complement and improve upon “on-the-job” statistical experience. In this webinar,
panelists will discuss the structure, resources, and key components of their statistical
consulting training. They will also identify perceived gaps, limitations, and successes in
their approaches and resources to support the training of the next generation of
collaborative statisticians.
