Main themes

This course offers coaching sessions to help students integrate the content from the Modeling and Simulation courses by working with their own datasets in groups. Each session will focus on a specific step of the workflow, providing support from teaching assistants. The practical work will cover pharmacometric modeling and simulation skills, ensuring students master the essential methods required for a pharmacometrician.

Content

The aim of this course is to:

• apply knowledge acquired in Teaching Units 4 & 5; Develop & execute a Modeling & Simulation plan,
• conduct a literature review on a chosen Modeling or Simulation method,
• acquire new knowledge on pharmacometrics Modeling & Simulation methods,
• critically evaluate the Modeling & Simulation results
• develop as a self-reliant, independent person
• learn to function in a team in a constructive, productive, and proactive way
• conduct rigorous research
• critically evaluate scientific findings
• effectively communicate insights within a global and interdisciplinary framework.
