As a clinical programmer, there are many paths to take. The main goal is always to access the data, manipulate and transform the data, analyze the data and report on the data. As a programmer, one can specialize in Data management (DM) programming and spend a majority of the time cleaning the data through edit checks and the creation of patient
listings and profiles. Another task of the DM programmer is to transform the data from its raw format into a standard format. This standard format could be the CDISC Study Data Tabulation Model (SDTM) that is requested by regulatory agencies upon submission of a new compound or it could be a sponsor’s own standards. In the process of transforming the data, the DM programmer must make sure that the output conforms to the standard and is compliant as well as valid So another part of the job is to write programs to check the data against the standard and run the programs whenever a new study is about to be analyzed.
 
CDISC end-to-end !
 
SDTM defines a standard structure for study data tabulations.
ADaM specifies the fundamental principles for the creation of analysis datasets .

In order to increase the efficiency of the drug development process, the Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC) has developed a series of clinical study data standards to facilitate efficient transfer, access and review of clinical trial data. These standards include the Operational Data Model (ODM), the Study Data Tabulation Model (SDTM) and the Analysis Data Model (ADaM). This paper presents basic strategies and practical methods for creating SDTM domain data sets from clinical data management (CDM) system files. Before initiating the data mapping and conversion process it is crucial to have a basic understanding of the SDTM specifications. CDISC provides implementation guides for all of the CDISC data standards on their Website (www.cdisc.org). The SDTM Implementation Guide(SDTMIG)is an essential tool for anyone involved with the metadata mapping or programming associated with the creation of SDTM data sets. The SDTM Implementation Guide contains the specifications and metadata for all of the SDTM data domains and guidance for producing SDTM domain files. The SDTM is an evolving standard and it is important to ensure that everyone involved in the conversion process is adhering to the same version of the SDTM. It is also important to understand the difference in the version numbers for the SDTM standard and the associated implementation guide.

The Analysis Data Model (ADaM) document specifies the fundamental principles and standards to follow in the creation of analysis datasets and associated metadata. Metadata are “data about the data” or “information about the data.” The Analysis Data Model supports efficient generation, replication, and review of analysis results.

How to land a job as a SAS professional

Would you like to know the secret of how I landed my job at SAS? Since I’m asked this question so frequently, I thought it might be useful to share my tips.

1.       Know yourself

Are you a people person? Or are you an analytical person who enjoys the rush you get while working with logic and numbers? Or are you a combination person? What do you like to do? What are your skills? Take the time to understand your likes. You really need to know yourself to start positioning your resume in the right manner for a SAS job. I suggest taking a personality test. Here are a few you could try:

• Myers Briggs
• 3SmartCubes
• Kiplinger

My tip - If you have time for only one, Myers Briggs is typically considered a reliable indicator of personality type. If you come out strongly analytic, then you are a shoe in for many SAS jobs that require analytical skills. I tossed in a couple of other tests that are more detailed analytical type tests.

2.       Know your industry

Have you taken the time to understand industry trends before trying to find a job using SAS? Research what areas of industry are hot and what companies are hiring. Here are some companies to research:

• IBT1000: Top 10 Industries with the World’s Fastest Growing Companies
• Top 500 Companies listed by Fortune 500 in 2011

My tip - Look to the health industry which is always looking to recruit SAS professionals.

3.       Network

Take every opportunity to meet other SAS users.  Speaking from experience, user group committees are usually short-staffed and love to get an extra hand. Whether you are skilled at organizing, presenting, compiling evaluations, or putting up content on the user group website there’s usually a skill waiting to be used at your local user group.

My tip - Join your local SAS user group. Not only will networking help the community, but it also helps you figure out where the jobs are in your research for your dream technology job.

4.       Make the fit

Understand the organization you are seeking. As an example, my organization SAS is a socially responsible company that believes in giving back to the community. I loved volunteering before joining SAS and was able to continue after starting the job. Thanks to SAS, I was able to teach yoga (check out this video) to these junior kindergarten kids at a neighborhood school. Make an effort to understand the vision and mission of an organization and see if what you’re doing in your life lines up with what the company stands for.

My tip - Read up and ask others working in the organization you have your eye on what it’s like to work there.

5.       Test your SAS skills

How good is your SAS knowledge and experience? You do need solid SAS skills to nail that SAS job. If you haven’t already, take a look at our top 10 course list to get a sense of what SAS users out there gravitate to the most. Take the SAS certification exam if you’re not sure. You’ll definitely be sure once you pass the exam.

My tip: Try the SAS practice exam for a self-test.

It’s easy to understand why so many people ask me about landing a SAS job. This recent article says SAS is the #1 skill to add to land a bigger paycheck.

At SAS Institute, we’re always happy to provide you guidance on what training you need to take. However, you do have to know yourself and your industry so that we can provide you the best options.  Good luck on your search.
