The Thomas J. Long School of Pharmacy is proud to partner with Partner Therapeutics to offer a Fellowship in Industry Program (FIP). Founded in 2017, the program aims to provide exceptional biopharmaceutical industry training for doctor of pharmacy (PharmD) graduates. The goal of the program is to prepare fellows for a career in the pharmaceutical industry by focusing on developing technical, leadership and communication skills. The fellowship will also concentrate on cultivating the fellow's clinical skills while honing their expertise in their area of interest.

Partner Therapeutics | Medical Affairs/Clinical Development

This unique two-year, Boston-based fellowship program is a 50/50 split of medical affairs and clinical development with additional exposure to regulatory science in the first year. In the second year, the fellow can choose an area of focus within medical affairs or clinical development. The program will help prepare the fellow to become a well-rounded industry leader with a deep understanding of the importance of cross-functional partnership. This is one of the few programs in the country that balances the fellow’s long-term goals with institutional priorities in a setting where clinical development and medical affairs are highly integrated.
