I've heard there's a telecommuting job called Regional Consultant Pharmacist, I think it's in my browser history somewhere. Let me know if I should go look for it for you/the person you chatted with.
ReplyDeleteThanks Imee, but this person is a physician, not a pharmacist.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Research as a Non-clinical medical job?
ReplyDeleteI know research is a very wide field but, I've always read that a lot of people (Physicians) that achieve a successfully career in Pharma/Biotech industry started as a researcher and then become a Director/Manager/CEO etc.
Starting in the research arena is a good idea?
Of course after a medical residency.
I know several people who work in clinical research for pharma. All of them came from academia, so it's critical to have academic experience and publishing expertise.
ReplyDeleteI'm a pharmacist, but I'd love to encourage other health care professionals to look into non-clinical jobs. I am a medical information specialist in Pharma after pursuing a drug information residency. I love my current work in Pharma and my past experiences in managed care. I encourage HCPs to spend some time looking into non-clinical careers to see if they are right for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dr. Kim, for starting this blog! I'll be sure to share it with my students.
