Product Description

From the Back Cover

Research and development of medicines is one of our most challenging, stimulating and successful industrial activities and this book sets out to interest those seeking information about different careers in and associated with the pharmaceutical industry.

Since publication of the 1st edition of this book there have been many changes in the environment of medicines research; changes in philosophy, direction, organisation, communication, financing and regulation, reflected here in the updated and additional chapters. The mapping of the human genome, the growth of information technology and the globalisation of medicines research and development to international standards are just some of the changes which have a major impact on the way we perceive and address discovery research, development and the marketing needs of medicines.

In addition, as with many other industries, the concept of job for life has been replaced by the need to acquire transferable skills through continuing education and training. For those already in the industry, this book will help maintain a clear focus for career development opportunities in the light of the current structure.

While it is not possible to cover all the variants of jobs and opportunities that exist in such a complex industry, it is hoped that enough light is thrown on the different careers in pharmaceuticals to allow those at the start of their working life as well as those seeking a new direction in their career to make the right choice.

Great resource for anyone interested in getting into the pharmaceutical industry 27 May 2011
By Eric A. Huang - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The audience for this book is anyone who is currently unhappy in their current job and considering getting into the pharmaceutical industry. If you are already working in "pharma," this book probably won't be of much use to you as you already know what CRAs, CROs, medical monitors, etc. do.

The pharmaceutical industry employs physicians, nurses, pharmacists, writers, scientists, managers, statisticians, data managers, sales people, lawyers, economists and many other types of professionals. This book is mostly composed of chapters describing the different positions available. As someone who has worked many years in pharma, I can say that the information in this book is very good, but you will need to pursue other sources to get more details if you are interested in a particular career. There are also some chapters on how to land the job and develop your career further, but these topics are fairly general and covered better in other books.

Because this is an expensive book, I would suggest checking this out from the library if you can.
