How to get Expreince in SAS clinical programming

[ship140]

Hi, I have completed SAS clinical trial fundamental courses from SAS and now I am bas SAS certified and going to give sas clinical certification very soon. I m master in Biology and have 5.5 yr exp in IT domain working on oracle . But I cant see any job opportunity for entry level in SAS clinical programming..evry one is asking for min 2 yrs exp in CRO domain. How would i get it. During joing the class ..SAS Institute doesnt mentioned it. They said you will get call from credly site.. but no call snc 4 months?

Do you know any other institute or company who can give live project and give experience letter ...as intern or junior level

Hello,

Here are several interesting books in SAS Life Sciences area.

Many are for "SAS programming work within clinical trials".

You just need to bump into the right opportunity. Sometimes you need to have some luck.

But, in general, knowing SAS for dealing with clinical trials gives you a key-skill and a head-start.

Of course pharmaceutical companies and CRO's are hiring "juniors" but they hire experienced SAS-profiles as well (probably even more).

I'm talking for Belgium now, but I guess it's no different in your area.

[EDIT] : if no further satisfying answers by Monday morning I will move your topic to the

Solutions header > SAS Health > SAS Health and Life Sciences board!

Good luck,

Koen

message me if you want. I worked for one of the big CROs. there's no secret that I have to getting a job at a CRO. despite common career advice that applying online is not the best way, it's how I get all my jobs and interviews.
