TITLE: Successful Approaches to Teaching Statistical Consulting PANELISTS: Dr. Julia Sharp, NIST (moderator) Dr. Emily Griffith, North Carolina State University Dr. Alexandra Hanlon, Virginia Tech University Dr. Ryan Peterson, University of Colorado Dr. Emily Slade, University of Kentucky DATE/TIME: May 8, 2023, from 3:30-5:30pm Eastern Time (US and Canada) VENUE: Online webinar hosted using the Zoom platform 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.
