Primary goals of the fellowship are to provide the fellow with a thorough knowledge of key access strategies and to develop foundational scientific and professional skill sets required for a successful career within the pharmaceutical industry.

More specifically, the fellow will correspond with external customers involved in evidence‐based healthcare decisions including but not limited to managed care organizations, private and government health plans, third party payers, pharmacy benefit managers, specialty pharmacies, compendia publishers, guideline bodies and technology assessment entities. The fellow will be expected to:
· Evaluate and interpret medical literature

· Conduct scientific and clinical presentations
· Apply managed care concepts and knowledge to customize our services for managed care customers
