Fellowship Requirements

Experience With a Partner Company

A significant majority of the fellowship program is spent at the participating company gaining hands-on experience in specific disciplines. The area of focus varies by program, but all are designed to provide the fellow with sufficient experience to qualify for a full-time position in either the pharmaceutical or biopharmaceutical industry at the conclusion of the program.

Each partner company has its own requirements. Please see the individual company brochures for more information on specific programs.
