Course Description
The objective of this intermediate course is to consolidate knowledge of PK/PD concepts and advance to performing more complicated PK/PD modeling using Phoenix WinNonlin and Phoenix NLME. You will learn how to customize your own models beyond library models, how to interpret and present your results, perform simulations, and how to deal with different types of covariates such as occasion covariates, and much more. This course will also cover pharmacodynamic concepts and examples. Many case studies will be presented (please see agenda below).

Course Format, Language and Dates
This course format is as a ‘Live on-line classroom’ which means that the course is delivered virtually by an expert Phoenix instructor at pre-specified times. This format provides the benefit of the classroom setting, with real-time interaction with the instructor but without the travel. Although live attending is encouraged, recordings of the sessions are available to participants during the length of the course. You will have access to the recordings for 3 months following the last session of the course.
This course will be delivered in English.
Lecture/Demo Sessions
Live Zoom sessions will occur in November and December, 2025. There will be six two-hour lecture/demo sessions. Lecture/Demo sessions are on Tuesdays at 10 AM New York (GMT-4), starting 4 November and finishing on 16 December. We will record sessions and post the recordings for those who are unable to attend live. You will have access to the recordings for 3 months following the last session of the course.
Self-Paced Exercises
There are five self-paced exercises in the course that guide you through exploratory data analysis, data preparation, and noncompartmental data analysis. You do not need to run Phoenix to do the self-paced exercises, because everything is contained in the module. Each practice exercise contains a quiz that you must pass with at least a 60% score, although you can repeat each quiz as many times as you need to pass it.
Hands-on Exercise Sessions
There are also five weekly "Hands-on Exercise" Zoom sessions that give you the opportunity to carry out the same analysis as in that week's "Self-Paced Exercise", working collectively in Phoenix. You will be divided into small groups, and will work together on the exercise. At least one in each group will need to have Phoenix running on their computer and have an active WinNonlin license.
- Hands On Exercise Session Option A is offered at times most convenient for participants in the Americas, Europe, and Africa. They are on Fridays at 11 AM New York (GMT-4).
- Hands On Exercise Session Option B is offered at times most convenient for participants in Asia/Pacific. They are on Tuesdays at 2 PM Brisbane (GMT+10). (FYI, 2 PM Tuesday in Brisbane is late Monday evening in New York.)
Prerequisites and Time Commitment
Good knowledge of PK/PD concepts including compartmental models for both individual and population. Experience with the functionality of Phoenix WinNonlin and Phoenix NLME software. Prerequisite background courses or similar experience include: [(123-LO) PK Modeling and Simulation and (124-LO) Introduction to Population Modeling] or [(100-OD) Introduction to Phoenix WinNonlin and (101-OD) Introduction to Population Modeling]
Students are expected to be able to commit 5 hrs a week to attend sessions and complete assignments.
Software
Phoenix WinNonlin and Phoenix NLME
Participants are expected to have a current license to Phoenix WinNonlin and Phoenix NLME. If a 60-day software license is needed one can be provided for an additional fee. Contact us if you want to order a license.
Certara Professional Certification [Optional]
Participants may opt to pay a fee ($50) to obtain an additional professional certification as a Level 1 Pharmacometrician. This certification requires passing an exam that this course will give you the sufficient knowledge to pass. Contact us to add this certification to this course registration.
