Global Commerical Operations Intern, Global Market Access

June - September 2020 • Thousand Oaks, CA

What I liked

I led multiple projects surrounding pharmaceutical reimbursement tracking, market access research, and global payer research. As a project manager focusing on the cardiovascular space, my role involved leading the construction of a tracking system for pharmaceutical reimbursement data from the ground-up, pulsing affiliates in our European, JAPAC, and Intercontinental offices, as well as creating a centralized internal website for market access and health economics information.

What I wish was different

I wish the internship could have been in person, however; with the backdrop of the pandemic, I understand the necessity for remote work.

Advice

Be proactive when it comes to virtual networking and when going through recruiting season for internships and full-time jobs, select opportunities that hedge against health crises. That is one of the reasons I looked toward big pharma.

Learning & Performance Intern

May - August 2018 • West Greenwich, RI

What I liked

I thoroughly enjoyed this internship because it was a very structured internship program with different intern events outside of work. We did different volunteering events and different teambuilding events throughout the summer. The work schedule was very flexible so you could work the hours that work best for you and everyone in the company was very supportive and willing to meet with you about what they do.

What I wish was different

I wish there had been more structured shadowing opportunities so you could shadow someone in a field/position that you may be interested in working in the future. But as always, if you want to do this you could just reach out to someone and ask.

Advice

I would say to always be open and ask your manager what else you can do. This looks very good that you are eager to take on new projects and work on more things than your were originally assigned.
