PROGRAM GOALS
The pharmaceutical industry is responsible for monitoring, assessing, and communicating safety information throughout a product’s lifecycle. At Sanofi, the Patient Safety & Pharmacovigilance (PSPV) Department is responsible for these activities. The aim of pharmacovigilance is to enhance patient care and safety in relation to the use of pharmaceutical products by ensuring a favorable benefit-risk profile. Pharmacovigilance is a thriving field within the pharmaceutical industry. As regulations continue to expand, the need for knowledgeable and qualified personnel increases.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES
- Understand the mission of a pharmacovigilance department and the role of Patient Safety & Pharmacovigilance in clinical development and product lifecycle management.
- Become knowledgeable in current pharmacovigilance regulations and guidelines, including those in the US and Europe.
- Develop the ability to think strategically with a global pharmacovigilance and regulatory perspective.
- Enhance the ability to critically evaluate, interpret, synthesize, and present safety data in a clear and concise manner through written and verbal communication.
- Expand medical knowledge of products within various therapeutic areas (e.g. Rare Diseases, Multiple Sclerosis, Immunology, Vaccines, and Oncology).

Application Procedure
To be considered for an interview, please complete a fellowship application on the MCPHS SMApply application portal. Visit https://mcphs.smapply.io/
Please DO NOT request an interview within PPS. Our recruitment teams will contact qualified candidates via email to schedule interviews.

Recommendations
Three recommendation evaluation forms must be submitted no later than December 1, 2023, via the online portal. This is NOT a letter of recommendation but an online form that the reference will need to complete.

All submitted applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Interviews will also be offered on a rolling basis and opportunities are limited. Priority will be given to those applicants who apply early, well in advance of the deadline.
Rolling interviews will begin mid-October with pre-screens and a mixture of interview rounds, and will conclude in December at the end of the ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting. Candidates will be notified if selected for an interview.
