The Biopharmaceutical Section of the American
Statistical Association launched a web-based training program
in March 2007. Web-based training is becoming increasingly popular
as a cost-effective alternative to live training courses and the
Biopharmaceutical Section is excited about offering the program
as a service to its membership.
