I am 4th-year PharmD, really passionate about Med Affairs. Had APPE rotation and strong business background. Fellowships won’t be the right choices for me due to their pay cuts in 2 years and unable to relocate to East Coast due to special circumstances. I will graduate in May 2024 and relocate to Dallas, TX. Does anyone have good ideas of positions/roles breaking into Pharmas? Are there any hiring managers here? Any company referrals you may help me out? Any ideas would be much appreciated!

Not sure of particular circumstances but Dallas might be limiting. Given PharmD, maybe MSL or Med Affairs. There should be opportunities for DFW based field roles for some companies.
I think Alcon and Galderna are actually DFW based, so could be opportunity there. not sure about who else though.

Any advice would be welcome. Thanks!

Anything is better than being virtual and I am trying to look at the bright side, but moving backward still burns. We have parent-teacher conferences coming up and I am hoping that it’s temporary.
