What is a
Pharmacoeconomic / Outcomes Research Internship?
A
Pharmacoeconomic / Outcomes Research Internship is a short-term
experiential training program (generally 8 to 10 week in the summer or
during a semester). Internships tend to be more informal than
fellowships in their arrangements, and more ad hoc in the way they are
set up and run. Internships differ from fellowships in that
fellowships tend to be longer, involve more formal relationships with
universities or training sites, and focus more at the post-doctoral
level (PharmD, PhD, MD).
Internships generally offer a great “win-win” situation for student
and employers. From the student’s perspective, internships provide a
better understanding of the demands of real-world jobs, and better
focus their ongoing and subsequent training to a real-world situation.
From the perspective of the employers, interns, who are energetic and
usually well trained -- even if inexperienced -- provide a great
temporary source of manpower. Interns also offer a pool of potential
employees who could “hit the ground running” if permanent
opportunities with the company become available. Finally, even if the
intern takes employment elsewhere, a contact has been made, and the
network expanded. |
