“The ACPM-Otsuka program has provided me with an incredible opportunity to apply my training in science, medicine, and public health in new and unique ways. In my first year alone, I progressed from learning new vocabulary to coordinating multinational discussions about pharmacovigilance and patient safety with the support of the strong mentors and leaders at Otsuka. I would highly recommend this program to anyone interested in new and innovative ways of thinking about problems with broad impact.”
