Barriers to global pharmacometrics: educational challenges and opportunities across the globe
Robin Michelet, along with several members of the global Pharmacometrics communiity, recently published a perspective paper based on a symposium held at the World Conference on Pharmacometrics (WCOP). This talk and panel discussion, titled “Training of the Next Generation of Pharmacometric Talent Around the World” explored the issues around good pharmacometrics education and provided an overview of different aspects that aid or hamper this goal.
This paper focuses on the challenges and opportunities related to the movement of human capital (so-titled “Brain Drain”), the multidisciplinary nature of the field and the unbalanced spread of pharmacometrics across regions and regulatory agencies.
