What about Italian medical schools? The public medical schools are quite cheap, and Humanitas which is private is still much lower than any Irish medical school. There is an IMAT entrance test for the public schools. There are English programs in most schools. And here are the tuition per year...

For PhD degrees, you can get PhD in pharmaceutical outcomes research from a good pharmacy school which will set you up in HEOR. Biostatistics is another PhD for being a statistician in pharmaceutical industry (I have PhD in statistics but it is 5 years of study, and with just a masters in...

To address the other poster regarding how to get into being a statistician in pharmaceutical industry, you would need to complete a PhD in statistics or biostatistics. To get in, you need two semesters of real analysis (which is proof-based calculus), linear algebra (at least one semester...

Washington DC, North Dakota, and Oklahoma are the other states that don’t honour non competes

It all depends upon the level they give you. For Pfizer, manager level is basically what they give entry-level hires after PhD (at least for biostatistics). I have worked previously for two companies on that above list in the past, but quite awhile ago. Just apply everywhere, and see which gives...

I am director level but not at Pfizer. Pfizer levels for biostatistics are for entry level after PhD: manager, then senior manager, then associate director, then director, then senior director, then executive director, then vp. I assume it is similar or even same for pharmacometrics. Manager...

Hi, I am in biostatistics (not pharmacy) but work in pharma for a Japanese company on the East Coast. My base is in the 200-250K range that you wrote (just my base). Bonus 20%, Long-term incentive equity is 20%. So that figure is just base. Total compensation is more like around 300K. My guess...

You don't need a pharmacy degree to work as a SAS programmer at all. Most people working as SAS programmers in pharma industry have a masters in statistics, and the PhDs in statistics or biostatistics work as the statistician. Some even have bachelor or master degrees in computer science. This...

There are two schools that have PharmD in Puerto Rico. Nova Southeastern has a Puerto Rico satellite campus and the University of Puerto Rico. So they definitely do graduate PharmD's

Now, I will turn the conversation a little bit different. I work for a major pharmaceutical company based in Germany and to me, I believe that Germany may be the place that has the overall highest standard of living for a major country. Germany is both very effective in implementing policy, has...

Hi, maybe it is because your school is not well known enough, and the companies only select from schools that have graduates working there. My current company has several people from Rutgers Fellow program and even someone in pharmacovigilance who got hired as a contractor. 90% of them not only...

I work in the pharma industry and in my job the starting requirement for entry-level position is PhD (so entry level age is about 28-32) and slightly older for those international students who may have worked in their country for a few years before coming to US to study (around 30-32). I am in...

She is no longer at the school! Check the website. Does anyone know if she was dismissed for these reasons?

I think with a 5-year degree, maybe those international programs are not necessary. You should contact the pharmacy board. I think the process is to start taking the licensure exams
