Schools Outreach Committee
Chair: Emma Crawford
The Schools Outreach Committee focuses on encouraging and supporting PSI members to engage in Schools Outreach activities. By empowering our PSI members with materials to take into schools, as well as fostering collaborations with relevant STEM engagement
organisations, we aim to promote the opportunities of working in numerate careers in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry and hopefully inspire the future workforce to continue with their studies in STEM subjects.
Our activities include:
- Promoting benefits of engaging in school outreach activities
- Raising awareness of numerate careers in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry
- Facilitating an incentive program to reward PSI members that engage in outreach
- Maintaining a knowledge library of materials to take into schools
- Developing and running interactive workshops for schools
- Attending and organising regional and national STEM events
- Fostering collaborations with relevant STEM engagement organisations
If you have any schools outreach related questions please feel free to contact us at careers@psiweb.org.

PSI Introduction to Industry Training (ITIT) Committee
Chair: Zelie Bailes
The ITIT committee organise the yearly Introduction to Industry Training course (ITIT), which has been running for over 30 years. We work with various companies to give statisticians and statistical programmers new to the pharmaceutical industry an overview
of the industry and the complete drug development process.
Our activities include:
- Organising the ITIT course each year, which consists of 6 separate 2-day sessions throughout the year.
We are always on the lookout for contacts across the industry who may be able to support the course by hosting a session. If you are interested in learning more about hosting a session, please reach out to any of the committee members.
If you have any questions, you can contact the ITIT chair Zelie Bailes at zelie.a.bailes@gsk.com
