S2BN Waterloo - Industry Residency Info Night

On February 20, 2021, S2BN Waterloo held a virtual event with a diverse group of industry residents. Throughout the Q&A session, our industry residents shared unique and key insights about how pharmacy students can break into industry. Here’s a bit about our speakers and the insights they gave. While all were previous pharmacy students, each one landed a different pharmaceutical company.

John Kim: Medical Affairs Resident at Sanofi

Jocelyn Chan: Medical Information and Medical Affairs Resident at Amgen

Saara Manji: Product Development Regulatory Resident at Roche

Nastaran Keshmiri: Medical Affairs Resident at GSK

Each resident's path from pharmacy school to industry residency was different. They highlighted the importance of conducting academic research, seeking out valuable and related co-op experiences, and of course, networking. In the screen-recorded video below, the slides are in question and answer format. If you missed the event, or want to re-watch certain answers, we hope you'll find the recording helpful.
