IPhO is the organization whose pharmacist members are universally recognized within the pharmaceutical industry as being the most professionally equipped to contribute to the development, commercialization, promotion, and optimal use of medicines.
After months of hard work and commitment from students and fellows alike, we are proud to announce the winners of the 2024-2025 IPhO VIP Case Competition!
FIRST PLACE: Virginia Commonwealth University
SECOND PLACE: Saint Joseph's University - Philadelphia College of Pharmacy
In March, the IPhO student chapters of Saint Joseph’s University, Temple University, and Thomas Jefferson University successfully hosted the Third Annual IPhO Philadelphia Conference.
The event provided pharmacy students with an opportunity to explore career pathways in the pharmaceutical industry, connect with industry professionals, and engage with peers from other IPhO chapters.
What was your motivation to pursue the pharmaceutical industry as a career path?
My motivation to pursue industry stems from various factors, such as a strong desire to contribute to improving people's health and well-being but in a different realm. I was drawn to industry, specifically MSL, because it combines science, innovation, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on a broader spectrum. Industry has given me the chance to work on groundbreaking therapies that can change lives.
