We wrap up our “10 Years in 10 Minutes” series (yes Derek, for real this time) looking at the history of CMEpalooza today by catching up with one of the more dynamic presenters in our history, Jason Olivieri. In addition to having a hairstyle that make many in our industry jealous (but not me – no, no, never), Jason is also an expert in simplifying the complicated world of outcomes. His initial salvo during the first CMEpalooza Spring focused on the topic of Statistical Analysis in CME Outcomes.
Jason is usually full of energy, but looked more than a little haggard before we started recording this piece due to the most recent new arrival in his family (a whippet puppy) who was keeping him up at all hours. Not surprisingly, he rallied as soon as the red light went on and shared his story of the technology challenges associated with the early days of virtual presentations, why the Kool-Aid Man (“Oh Yeah!”) will be the mascot for his dream medical education company, and his future as a sardine fisherman. Yes, this conversation went in a few unexpected directions.
