Try taking a few online course around Drug Development life cycle, Regulatory Affairs and Biopharmaceutical/Drug manufacturing processes. I would also recommend doing a deep dive into org structures of a Phram/biophrma company. Understand the different departments, their business responsibilities and the tools they use.

Fundamentals of Immunology and Digital Health are also interesting topics to learn once you have built the foundations.

I know a decent amount from high school and undergrad STEM classes (e.g., orgo), lots of research into nutrition, and projects in life sciences — but there are definitely gaps

Where to begin? What are the best resources for learning efficiently?

Lol why do people keep sharing this post?? I don’t get it

Thanks C1!

If anyone else has recommendations on online biology courses that are accelerated/intermediate and geared towards adults/college students that would be appreciated!

Just wanted to share this with people who would understand. Had 4 IEP meetings last week. When the case manager asked one mother if she had any concerns she said her only concern was that her kindergarten son with autism loved me so much she was afraid of him being promoted and being out of my room. I told her not to worry, in our program I will have him for 2 more years. Boy that made me feel good.
