"I knew early on that Medical Affairs was a career path I was interested in pursuing. With the many different roles for PharmDs within Medical Affairs, I wanted to learn more but needed help figuring out where to start as a student. Now with the IPhO/MAPS partnership, I have full access to MAPS Medical Affairs-specific resources and trainings, allowing me to dive deep into the functional area."
