Staying up-to-date as a practicing biostatistician
Organizer and Chair: Eleanor Pullenayegum (Hospital for Sick
Children)
Room: Thistle 325


A medical colleague recently pointed out that when he cares for his patients, he is expected to be up to date with all the relevant medical research. So, when he goes to see a biostatistician, that person should be up-to-date with all recent developments in biostatistics. Perhaps you're thinking, “That's impossible”? This roundtable will discuss: a) As apracticing biostatistician, what do you need to stay up to date with? b) How do you stay up to date? c) Are there ways we could organize ourselves as a discipline to make it easier to stay up to date?
