What are the most competitive Industry Pharmacy Functional Roles?

[Doh1]

I have been wondering this for a while. From what I have researched it seems Regulatory/medical Affairs is the most popular. Fellowships already take a very low percentage of applicants (Less so than Residency) so by attempting to go for a popular role may reduce your chances even more.

Would any Industry Pharmacists or anyone with extensive knowledge on this subject agree or disagree with this?

Current fellows would know the stats for how many applied per position...

MedComm/MedAffairs are probably the most popular, but they also have the most positions available...

I wouldn't base my decision on that... Odds are only important if the competition is all about the same level. If you want to succeed, you should aim to be *better* than most of your competitors, not 'one of'.
