Responsible for bridging pharmaceutical development to commercialisation, medical affairs personnel are expected to navigate through an increasingly complex healthcare environment with a need to have an optimal blend of scientific knowledge, communication skills, and business acumen to succeed in their role. To address the competency and development needs arising from this evolving role of medical affairs within the pharmaceutical industry in response to the changing healthcare landscape, CoRE and Janssen Asia Pacific, part of the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson, have formed the Joint Alliance Duke-NUS Education (JADE), a certificate programme specialising in Medical Affairs.

Latent Class Analysis (LCA) is a "person-centric" statistical method that sorts people into groups based on multiple characteristics. This draws attention to the "heterogeneity" or important contrasts between people and allows us to describe "typologies" that tell people's stories in greater depth. LCA is also flexible in its application to different types of data, including longitudinal data, and can be used to predict distal outcomes such as physical or mental health. For these reasons, LCA is a popular method across gerontology, psychology, public health, sociology, economics, and many other fields. This in-person workshop aims to deliver a beginner-friendly introduction to LCA, how it works, when it can be used, and its strengths and weaknesses. Participants can expect a combination of theoretical content and hands-on exercises using the Stata software (free training licenses will be provided). No prior experience is necessary.
