Medical Affairs Undergraduate Trainee - Anti-Infectives Review

My role is very varied as we do a lot of project work and I don't have many reoccurring daily task that need be completed. I have a lot of meetings both in person and online (due to Pfizer's hybrid/remote working), with both internal Pfizer colleague's and external vendors and healthcare professionals. I attend conferences with the team to garner insights around the therapy area and then complete projects.

I was lead on multiple projects as well being lead author on published abstracts. Each project I had support or was supporting but was given the freedom and responsibility to lead on projects internally but also ones that involved external vendors

My team was very supportive. I had 1-1 meetings with each member every week, and was allocated a 'buddy' when i joined who was my main port of call for any questions alongside my manager. We were given training on a specific software/processes we were involved in and there are regular drop in sessions with experts on these software/processes in case you need any further support.

Pfizer has a supportive and friendly culture where you are encouraged to reach to out to anyone across the company. Everyone is incredibly generous with their time and are always happy to put in a call to chat or catch up over a coffee.

I have massively enjoyed my time at Pfizer and would recommend doing a placement here to most people. There are a ton of opportunities outside of your role and everyone is so friendly and supportive.
