On Saturday, December 7, IPhO and its National Fellows Council (INFC) hosted an exciting event in Orlando, FL designed for all PharmD Fellows and Residents currently participating in Pharmaceutical Industry-focused training programs. For the first time ever, the event brought together nearly 100 Fellows from all different programs around the country to network and discuss best practices among Fellowships.

In addition to providing a terrific networking opportunity, the event featured a “Fellowship Excellence” panel discussion moderated by IPhO Executive Director James Alexander. The panel was comprised of a diverse group of current Fellows, Residents, and Visiting Scientists who are members of the IPhO National Fellows Council. Panelists included Jeff Barno (novo nordisk), Jonathan Kendter (Biogen Idec-MCPHS), John Andrew Lee (PPD-UNC), Lindsey Otto (Lilly), Bhavini Parikh (Lilly-FDA-Purdue), and National Fellows Council Chair Vicky Vazquez (BMS). Additional INFC members who were instrumental in planning the event include Ashlyn Jose (Perrigo-St. John’s), Swati Shah (Genzyme-MCPHS), and Michael Yan (McNeil-USP).

Stay tuned as we plan to share content from this successful Fellowship Excellence event on the IPhO website in the near future!
