**PML School - Learn how to build custom PK and PK/PD models**

Phoenix WinNonlin utilize the Pharsight Modeling Language (PML) to encode pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) models. While most models can be built with the graphical user interface in Phoenix, there are some models that require custom coding with PML.

Certara Support is launching a series of interactive webinars to teach users how to build PK and PK/PD models in Phoenix. The webinar topics will cover scenarios like simultaneous fitting of IV and PO data, target-mediated drug disposition, enterohepatic recirculation, tumor growth inhibition, and others. All topics will be introduced at a beginners level.

These seminars will occur every 2 weeks and are free to attend. Attendees will be able to ask questions and discuss how PML works after a brief tutorial.

Join us on Thursday, October 6, 2016, at 10:00 am EDT, where Dan Weiner will kick off our first PML School event.

Hi Xiaoquing, that link you clicked was to the ‘registration’. the actual recording can be found here.

the easiest place to find links to allthe videos are in the pinned posts e.g.

this is the first one in the list.
