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.
What was your motivation to pursue the pharmaceutical industry as a career path?
When I worked as a marketing specialist for a Customer Relationship Management company, I had the opportunity to collaborate with medical affairs organizations, which inspired me to pursue a career where I could make a tangible impact on patient outcomes. This experience ignited my passion for combining strategic thinking with science to have meaningful change in the pharmaceutical industry.
IPhO Executive Director and Founder, Jim Alexander, may have been the only one in the group sporting a Nebraska jacket, but he was still welcomed with open arms by team USC!
Fellowship program leaders, Bill Gong and Michael Lim, spent a sunny afternoon cheering for the USC football team along with Jim and their current fellows. Another fun reunion to celebrate at IPhO!
