Interview with Diana, Nick, and Rhys from Veramed

Are you a master’s student or just graduated from a university? Or do you want to bring on statisticians or programmers fresh out of university onto your team? This episode is for you. We’ll talk about a tested and refined program to onboard statisticians without industry experience smoothly. We’ll cover:

  • What is the Graduate Training Program at Veramed?
  • How is the training conducted?
  • What happens after the program?

Veramed’s graduate training program aims to smooth the transition from graduate to effective member of a clinical biostatistics team. The comprehensive 12 week syllabus equips you with relevant skills and knowledge so that by the end of the training program you will feel prepared for your new role as a Statistician or Programmer. As well as in depth technical training, you will get an overview of the industry and a range of soft skills to help you manage projects, communicate with clients, and follow specific processes. 

Even if you have some technical experience, our comprehensive program ensures that any potential knowledge gaps are addressed. As the program progresses you will take on more project work and client-specific training, and by the end of the 12 weeks you will have sufficient skills to work on client projects.
