November - December 2025 Cost - $550 (Academia $275, India $150) Course Description This intermediate-level course is designed to deepen your understanding of PK/PD modeling and equip you to build and customize advanced models using Phoenix WinNonlin and Phoenix NLME. You’ll learn to go beyond built-in library models, interpret and present results, run simulations, and incorporate various covariates—including occasion covariates. The course also includes pharmacodynamic concepts and real-world case studies. Special Pricing Academic Users: Contact us to update your account and access academic pricing.

Cost - $75 for Academics (free with purchase of RsNLME, $38 for Africa/India) Course Description This course is free for all who purchase RsNLME or Phoenix NLME.  If you have paid for RsNLME or Phoenix NLME, you can get this course for free, so contact us for a coupon code that will make the course free.  (Because RsNLME is free for academics, academic users will need to purchase this course for $75.) This course is intended for R Speaks NLME (RsNLME) users who need to know how to encode models in the Pharmacometrics Modeling Language (PML) used in Phoenix and RsNLME.  It provides a solid foundation and a structured approach to model building, to create your own PK and PK/PD models.  This highly practical course gives an accelerated introduction to writing PML models.  It assumes that you have ideas for PK and/or PK/PD models that you want to construct, and you mainly need to know how to implement them in PML.  The course includes a basic introduction to PK/PD modeling and population PK modeling. If you are an academic user, please contact us so we can update your account profile to give you access to academic pricing.  Note that you must register with an email address that is associated with an academic institution to get academic pricing. If you are located in Africa or India, please contact us so we can so we can update your account profile to give you access to the Africa/India pricing.  You will need to provide proof that you are physically located in India to get the pricing. There are about 1.5 hours of video in the course, plus interactive exercises.  You should expect to spend about 6 hours of work to finish.  You will have access to this course for a period of 3 years after purchase.
