This course gives an introduction to the Pharmaceutical and Life Sciences industry in a simple, visual style that is easy to understand. It illustrates how SAS is used as the primary tool to process and report the vast amounts of data generated during clinical trials.
The course walks you through real clinical study sample data to generate Clinical Study Reports (CSRs) submitted to the FDA (US), EMA (Europe), and other regulatory bodies. You will hone your SAS programming skills while learning essential concepts across Biostatistics and Clinical Data Management.
Following an introduction to the pharma landscape and CDISC SDTM vs. ADaM dataset architecture, you will complete a hands-on training exercise to build the fundamental Demographics Table 14.1.1 from the subject-level ADSL dataset. Starting from raw Excel data, you will import it into SAS, derive required variables as mapped in the mock table, and generate the final formatted clinical report.
Basic SAS programming knowledge is helpful. If you are new to SAS, we recommend taking our foundational course, "The Simplest Guide to SAS Programming".
Serves as a comprehensive guide towards the SAS Certified Clinical Trials Programmer Using SAS 9 exam.
CDISC SDTM (Study Data Tabulation Model) standardizes raw clinical trial data collected on Case Report Forms into observation-level domain tables (like DM, AE, LB) without derivations. CDISC ADaM (Analysis Data Model) structures analysis-ready datasets (like ADSL, ADAE, and BDS models) with derived variables, flags, and statistical parameters directly supporting TLF generation for FDA submissions.
TLF shells (Tables, Listings, and Figures mock shells) are blank template layouts designed by biostatisticians in the Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP). They define the exact visual layout, columns, summary statistics (N, mean, SD, percentages), footnotes, and population filters that Clinical SAS programmers must implement in PROC REPORT or DATA step pipelines.
Yes! All lectures, clinical trial datasets, code walkthroughs, and assignments are 100% self-paced. You can study on weekends or after hours at your convenience with lifetime access.
Basic SAS familiarity (DATA step, PROC SQL, fundamental procedures) is helpful. If you need a refresher, our foundational SAS Programming Course covers everything needed before diving into CDISC standards.
Yes! You will download real-world clinical study raw data, Excel specifications, and SAS program templates to practice end-to-end SDTM mapping, ADaM derivations, and TLF generation.
The curriculum is specifically engineered to cover the core competencies required for Clinical SAS Programmer certifications and technical interviews at top CROs and pharmaceutical companies—including CDISC SDTM / ADaM dataset architecture, ADSL derivations, and FDA electronic submission reporting requirements.
Absolutely. Many of our successful students come from Pharmacy (PharmD/B.Pharm), Biotechnology, Medicine, or Statistics backgrounds. The visual step-by-step breakdowns bridge the gap between clinical protocol concepts and SAS coding syntax.
Yes! Once you complete the lectures and practical assignments, you receive a verified Certificate of Completion in Clinical SAS Programming & Clinical Trials that you can add to your LinkedIn profile and resume.
When you finish listening to all video lectures, completing quizzes, assignments, and the capstone Demographics Table project, you will earn a verified Certificate of Completion.
Order your certificate after finishing the course. A small $1 processing fee covers administrative system handling. Issued within 24 hours. Please note that refunds are not offered for course completion certificates.
