regarding SAS in clinical trials

deleted_user — Thu, 15 Mar 2007 15:16:31 GMT

Dear all,
I am doing masters in pharmacology and I have no background in SAS because I am a science student. I am interested in getting into a job which is related to SAS and clinical research because I dont want to continue in research alone. Could you guys help me out by telling me what would be the best way to start with, whom I can contact and can I be able to learn SAS with out any background in engineering or software programming. Any kind of feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Dear pallavi,
Ok it's good. U can learn SAS easily but u cant learn statistics easily. Becoz i am working in clinical trails. In this 90% of statistics are used. So that if u learn SAS is not enough for getinng a job in clinical trials u must learn statistics also. If u are able to read both then ur dream will become true. All The Best.

Hi Satya,

This should work



[pre]

proc sort data=one;

   by pid;

run;



data uniq_counts;

   set one;

   by pid;

   if first.pid then count=1;

   else count+1;

   if last.pid then output;

run;



[/pre]

proc freq noprint;
tables pid/out=unique(keep=pid count);
run;

proc means data=one noprint; ;
class pid;
output out=unique(where=(pid ^=.) rename=(_freq_=count) drop=_type_ );
run;

Dear,

I feel it is wise decision, as there was huge scope for SAS aspirants in clinical trial and IT as well. I was also a candidate ( similar with your profile) who just started learning SAS for Base programming. All the best -SIVA
