Hi, Doc:   When you're teaching, you can set up a SAS OnDemand for Academics account that uses Enterprise Guide for you and your students to access. See the instructions for how to set up a SODA class here (support.sas.com/ondemand/steps.html) (but you may already know this).   So that is a possibility for teaching. If your physicians are doing their research at a school with an Education Analytics Suite license, then should be able to get access to EG through the school/university license (after they're done with your class).   Our Global Academic Program team works with schools to help professors get what they need to teach. You can contact them at academic@sas.com or visit their web site here (support.sas.com/learn/ap/index.html). cynthia ... View more

AaronK, In addition to Stacie's comments, I'd add this reference http://analytics.ncsu.edu/sesug/2003/TD02-Stojanovic.pdf I have taken several SAS courses and they were uniformly well taught.  It is a very good way to jump start the learning curve.  Even though I am often considered a power user (having cut my teeth on TSO and SAS 5 back in the 70's), I have also taught SAS to physicians using base SAS, the Analyst Package, and, most recently, EGuide.  EGuide is a good product for getting results out quickly from clean data, but a bit clumsy for complicated data transformations and ETL type data cleaning (for those, you still need to write SAS Code).  See the comparisons that Stacie mentioned. Other organizations do teach SAS.  Google <SAS software  training -sas.com> for a fairly extensive list.  Caveat emptor. Doc Muhlbaier Duke ... View more
