VvS+OR Register of Biostatisticians

Employers, government institutions and society at large increasingly make demands on biostatisticians who set up and analyse biological, medical and agricultural research. For this reason the VvS+OR, in cooperation with BMS-ANed, inaugurated the Register of Biostatisticians in 1999. This register guarantees that a biostatistician – in the opinion of the occupational group of statisticians in the Netherlands – has sufficient theoretical knowledge and experience to be able to function as an independent biostatistician.

Statistical Analyst A-VVS

Direct offered courses by the VvS+OR are not continued. However, the  VvS+OR, recognizes courses as equivalent to the level of "Statistical Analyst-A VVS". The society lists these VvS+OR candidates who have met the specified requirements of these courses, to the  "Statistical Analyst-A VVS' register. Then, these canidates receive the "Statistical Analyst-A VVS" certificate together with the course diploma. The Statistical Analyst-A register is available at the VvS+OR secretary.

The board of the registration committee Statistical Analyst A-VVS consists of the following persons:

• Prof. Dr Alfred Stein (ITC - Chairman)
