This course introduces the theory and practice of population modelling. Population models are a mainstay for model-informed dosing and so widely relevant to the IATDMCT membership. Population models allow dose individualisation by quantifying the impact of key patient covariates. They have been implemented in many Bayesian forecasting tools that are available for clinical use. Population modelling requires understanding of pharmacology and statistical concepts. This course is designed for beginners and has been run annually as part of PAGANZ conferences for more than 20 years. It provides early training and connection to a modelling community between learners of different backgrounds. It is typically well attended by PhD students, academics and industry professionals. The motivator for attendance ranges from those who plan to use population modelling for their own research, to those who have need of understanding the theory behind population modelling for their roles in regulatory or clinical organisations. The workshop covers both theory and practice of population modelling through lectures and hands-on exercises at a computer. During the hands-on exercises, tutors are available for consultation and assistance. The workshop is run as BYO device. No experience with any of these software is assumed.
