2024 Access to Medicines Summer Internship Program Roivant Sciences, Roivant Social Ventures (RSV), and Elutia have partnered to provide hands-on internship opportunities in drug development for talented PharmD students. The intentions of this program are to expand access to medicines to underserved populations, and to further UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy's goal of providing future industry leaders with pharmaceutical experience during their PharmD tenure. Reflecting on her experience as Roivant's 2023 Diversity in Pharma Research and Development Intern, Hannah Summers shared, “This experience has been nothing short of transformative. I have had the chance to delve into the various components of a pharmaceutical quality system, such as the importance of regulatory history and inspections, supplier qualification, and review of controlled documents, while witnessing the development of life-changing drugs, and actively participating in various aspects of the drug development process. These hands-on experiences have fostered a deeper understanding and appreciation for the work and dedication it takes to develop innovative medications.” We congratulate the following talented students on their 2024 internships: - Derek Bassett, Corporate Strategy Intern with Elutia, a biotech company led by RSV Advisory Board member C. Randal Mills, Ph.D. Elutia focuses on a proprietary drug-eluting biomaterial platform that stands at the forefront of medical innovation. - Amanda Bowlin, Regulatory Strategy Intern with Roivant Sciences. - Mackenzie Greene, RSV Global Access Fellow, volunteering with Goodlife Access and Goodlife Pharmacy Africa in Rwanda, Africa.  - Ethan Hsu, Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Control (CMC) Intern with Roivant Sciences' Research and Development (R&D) team. - Magdalene Mallory, RSV Global Access Fellow, volunteering with Goodlife Access and Goodlife Pharmacy Africa in Rwanda, Africa. During the Spring 2024 semester all interns completed RSV's "Making Medicines" course.

🌟 𝐁𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫: 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐭𝐬 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 🌟 As I looked around the community pharmacy, I realized that our role as #pharmacists extends far beyond dispensing medications. We have the potential to explore various fields within pharmacy, each offering unique opportunities to make a positive impact and benefit the patient more. During my current summer internship at a community #pharmacy , I sought deeper insights into the field. On LinkedIn, I discovered an incredible resource from the American Pharmacogenomics Association : an e-book titled "𝑭𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝑮𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝑮𝒓𝒐𝒘𝒕𝒉: 𝑨 𝑷𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒄𝒊𝒔𝒕'𝒔 𝑮𝒖𝒊𝒅𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝑩𝒖𝒊𝒍𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂 𝑳𝒖𝒄𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝑷𝑮𝒙 𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒖𝒍𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑩𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔" by Celeste Miranda. This experience was truly transformative. I printed the e-book and read it during my breaks at the pharmacy. This journey reinforced my belief that pharmacy is much more than working in a community setting. Our field is incredibly diverse, offering numerous opportunities to enhance patient care in innovative ways. The e-book covers a range of topics: 📖 𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐬: The impact of genetics on drug response. 💼 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐏𝐆𝐱 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬: Essential steps for building a successful business. 👩⚕️ 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐆𝐱 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬: Conducting genetic tests and interpreting results. 🚀 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬: Effective marketing and expansion strategies. Reading this e-book has motivated me to delve deeper into #pharmacogenomics. It highlighted how this field can significantly improve patient care and medication effectiveness. Our field offers countless #opportunities for #success, where we can leave a lasting impact and achieve more. With patient well-being as our top priority, I am eager to continue exploring diverse avenues within #pharmacy, driven by a #passion to make a meaningful difference. #Pharmacy #Pharmacogenomics #PharmacyStudent #Healthcare #PatientCare #PharmacyInternship #MedicalInnovation #FutureOfPharmacy #PersonalizedMedicine #CareerGrowth 🧬

Today marks the 20th day of my internship at a community pharmacy. During this time, I've gained valuable knowledge about some of the most commonly prescribed and best-selling drugs, including their adverse reactions, mechanisms, and proper usage. Although university guidelines state that a 20-day internship is sufficient, I have decided to extend my internship to continue learning and gaining practical experience. I am committed to expanding my knowledge and skills to provide the best care possible to patients. #PharmacyInternship #PharmaceuticalKnowledge #PatientCare #LifelongLearning

This ability helped me to get into MANKIND PHARMA LTD, Arbro Pharmaceuticals Private Ltd., and Imperial Clinical Research Services. And that is the ability to say what others want to listen to and the ability to mould your answers. Take for example, while I was interviewing at MANKIND PHARMA LTD. for the position of Management Trainee in International Business, I structured my introduction and other answers that would revolve around Product and Brand Management, Preparing Medical & Marketing Strategy to position our Product only. For example, How I Conducted extensive market research and business case analysis for Portfolio extension. Product brand management, research for business expansion in new countries and product launch. And if you talk about my interview at Imperial Clinical Research Services for the Position of Clinical Research Coordinator (CRC), I didn't talk much about my internship at Arbro Pharmaceuticals Private Ltd. Rather, I focused more on discussing how Clinical Trials are Conducted, its different Phases, PV guidelines, Understanding of Drug Development Process, Drug Safety, Adverse Event Reporting and ICH - GCP guidelines. I followed the same during my Arbro Pharmaceuticals Private Ltd. The point is, why would the Interviewer who is interviewing me for the Management Trainee profile be interested in my Analytical and clinical Research skills? I mean it's good to have those as well, but the first thing he will look for, is my Marketing & Business Expansion skills, right? Now this does not certainly mean that you should have past internship experience in that field, but it's about your ability to mould your past experiences along that profile and present. Learn the skill of moulding! It will be helpful in the long run. It seems too technical, but it's quite doable if you know what exactly you did in your past few years. Hope this will be helpful. All the best! 💯 If you found this post helpful, consider reposting it. 🔁 ____________ P.S. I write about Careers, Jobs, and Career Guidance and Personal mentorship.

In pharmaceutical industry, VA&P department is one of the areas that students find challenging to engage with, and professionals with expertise in this field are exceptionally unique and rare in the job market. It's really delighted to have Siao-Yuan (Grace) Huang - Value Access & Policy Manager join us to introduce the VA&P team and the critical areas of work within this department. Initially, the interns had only a vague understanding that VA&P involves discussions and collaborations with NHI administration. Grace elaborated on the role of VA&P from the early stages of the pharmaceutical process, highlighting responsibilities extend beyond just interacting with government. Creating partnership with other external stakeholders is equally important, and VA&P must also address internal stakeholder needs to ensure we meet company goals. Achieving a balance between external and internal markets and attaining success is a key objective of VA&P. This surprised the interns, revealing that VA&P is much deeper and broader than they had initially imagined! An added highlight was Rick Lee - Head of VA&P making time to engage with the interns, which truly enhanced our event. Additionally, Grace shared insights into career development within the VA&P role, encouraging interns to explore various paths and accumulate skills, which will be beneficial in their future careers. The interns expressed that the career exploration left a deep impression on them and increased their interest in the pharma industry!
