Hello,
I was wondering what types of jobs in the pharmaceutical industry are available to PharmD / PhD graduates. I am currently finishing a Masters Degree in Biostatistics and my elective classes are mostly related to the different phases of clinical trials and design of experiments. In fact I have registered for pharmacokinetics this semester. I know that the pharmaceutical industry hires some statisticians with a PhD and a few with masters. I was thinking whether the PharmD / PhD would open additional doors in other areas besides data analysis (which is what I would be doing with a statistics PhD or masters) if I decide to go this route. Also, does anyone here specifically know students at the University of Florida College of Pharmacy or at another research-oriented pharmacy school who are pursuing this option? I was just thinking that my background in statistics could be helpful in this regard if I decide to pursue a research career in pharmacy.
By the way, does anyone work for the pharmaceutical industry with just a PharmD? If so, in what areas?
