Post-Graduate Programs
The Rutgers Pharmaceutical Industry Fellowship Program was founded in 1984 by Dr. Joseph A. Barone and Dr. John L. Colaizzi as a project co-piloted by Rutgers University’s Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy and two pharmaceutical companies. A development in the structure and management of the Fellowship Program was the establishment of the Institute for Pharmaceutical Industry Fellowships in 2002 and the appointment of Dr. James G. Alexander, one of the first fellows to complete the program, as the Director.
The Fellowship Program is designed to provide Pharm.D. graduates with specialized and in-depth training to prepare them for a career within the pharmaceutical industry and offers a multitude of positions in industry for pharmacists to make contributions in a corporate setting. In these positions, fellows receive hands-on training to develop skills and experience in a variety of disciplines, including Medical Affairs, Medical Information, Regulatory Affairs, Clinical Research, Marketing, Business intelligence, Clinical Pharmacology, Clinical Research, Drug Safety/Risk Management, Consumer Health, Advocacy and Health Policy, Drug Regulatory Affairs, Market Research, Medical Communications, Medical Education, Medical Science Liaison, Pharma Partnering, Promotion Compliance, R&D Strategy and Analysis and Scientific Communications.
The program’s partner companies include pharmaceutical enterprises such as Bayer Healthcare, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Johnson & Johnson, Janssen Pharmaceutica, Hoffman-La Roche, Novartis, Merck, Sunovion, Acorda, Daiichi-Sankyo, Sanofi and TKL Research. More than 99% of the 600+ alumni were employed within the pharmaceutical and bio-pharmaceutical industries upon program completion.

Famous quotes containing the word programs:
“Although good early childhood programs can benefit all children, they are not a quick fix for all of society’s ills—from crime in the streets to adolescent pregnancy, from school failure to unemployment. We must emphasize that good quality early childhood programs can help change the social and educational outcomes for many children, but they are not a panacea; they cannot ameliorate the effects of all harmful social and psychological environments.”
—Barbara Bowman (20th century)
