FPM Conversation: Plotting your pathway to excellence
Tuesday 3 October 2023
17:00 - 19:00 (UK time)
Where? Online
When? Tuesday 3 October 2023, 17:00 (UK time)
Continuing the popular FPM Conversation events, this special online event will support pharmaceutical physicians in navigating their careers.
The programme is aimed at pharmaceutical physicians who are in the early-to-mid stage of their career and is especially useful for people who are considering:
- subspecialisation,
- advancing into a managerial position,
- transitioning from a role inside ‘big pharma’ to working in a biotech, regulator or as an independent consultant, or
- working (and living!) outside the UK.
The panel will also discuss how careers in the specialty may develop in the future and how you can ‘future-proof’ yourself and make the most of opportunities to come.
The discussions will be led by a panel of experienced pharmaceutical physicians, all of whom have followed different paths and can draw on decades of experience. The audience will also have the opportunity, after the main presentations, to continue the discussion.
This FPM Conversation is CPD accredited by FPM for up to 2 CPD Points.
