There are still slots open for the Minnesota Pharmacometrics Summer School. Our intent is to provide graduate students and post-doctoral trainees an opportunity to increase their skills in applying nonlinear mixed effects modeling, share data analysis experiences with other trainees in a collaborative environment, and develop communication skills in describing their work. The course will consist of lectures, discussions, and hands-on exercises. The link to the application form is below; you may find you need to copy and paste the entire address into a browser.
