I have a PharmD, did residency in managed care, then worked for 3 years at PBM before joining HHS in Medicare Part D formulary for 2 years.

Applied for a position in Johnson and Johnson Canada. Reached the final round 3 weeks back. After not getting any updates I emailed the HR a couple of weeks back.
