ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- AMCP Foundation congratulates the student pharmacists who recently completed immersive managed care centered internships on oncology, health outcomes, nonprofit leadership, and evidence, through the generous support of Pfizer Inc. and AbbVie Inc. The goal of AMCP Foundation internships is to develop future health care leaders by exposing students to a wide variety of population health and managed care pharmacy principles. These competitive internships provide students with the opportunity to contribute to challenging, meaningful projects and interact directly with industry experts, pharmacists, and managed care professionals.
As a part of the structured ten-week internship programs, student pharmacists embedded with host sites were matched with virtual preceptors and presented capstone research projects at AMCP's recent Nexus conference. Research topics included safety and effectiveness of biosimilars in the oncology landscape, postoperative atrial fibrillation and renal failure, and methods of measuring medication adherence. "Practice-based research drives innovation and a deeper understanding of issues, resulting in better health outcomes," said Paula J. Eichenbrenner, MBA, CAE, AMCP Foundation executive director. "We are deeply grateful for the generous support of AbbVie and Pfizer, which make it possible for AMCP Foundation to train tomorrow's practitioners in research methodologies, collaboration, and business acumen."
