Quintiles, SAS Announce Development of First-Ever Clinical Trials Statistical Programming Certification

From MarketWatch:

Quintiles, the world's No. 1 pharmaceutical services company, and SAS are developing a unique program to produce certified specialists in the use of SAS programming to evaluate clinical trials results, the companies announced today.
The Quintiles-SAS Clinical Trials Statistical Programming Certification will certify that the successful candidate has shown that he or she has the expertise necessary to organize, analyze, and report clinical trials results. Incorporating industry-specific data, language and concepts, SAS and Quintiles will develop an exam and related training materials that emphasize the SAS skills statistical programmers need in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.
"We're responding to a customer need through this collaboration with Quintiles," said Herbert Kirk, Vice President, SAS Education Division. "The pharma and biotech industries have statistical requirements that our standard certification exams don't measure. With this new certification, our pharma customers can hire people with confidence."
