Where Healthcare Professionals Transition into Pharma Innovators
For doctors, healthcare professionals, and life science graduates looking to embark on a new career in the medical field, pursuing opportunities in the pharmaceutical industry can be highly rewarding. With your specialized knowledge of medical conditions, clinical care, and the healthcare sector, you can excel as a pharmacy researcher or consultant, ultimately benefiting both patients and public health. However, the transition can be challenging and often requires expert guidance. This is where CareerInPharma steps in, offering curated services that address individual challenges. The institute is specifically committed to transformation rather than merely providing information, empowering healthcare professionals and life science graduates to find their ideal career paths, while also actively supporting women in advancing their careers providing them with tailored resources and opportunities.
From the Scratch
In an interview with Dr. Neema Bisht, the Director and COO of CareerInPharma, she shared insights into how the institute was established. Dr. Neema, a healthcare professional and dentist, initially sought non-clinical roles after realizing that clinical practice was not her passion. This led her to join the pharmaceutical industry in 2017 as a safety associate at a prominent multinational corporation.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, she noticed that many doctors were reaching out to her, seeking corporate positions that offered weekends off, flexible schedules, and work-from-home opportunities. While providing guidance to these professionals, Dr. Neema recognized that her knowledge of the pharmaceutical industry should be shared, as many doctors were in need of corporate jobs and did not find clinical work suitable. This insight ultimately inspired the founding of CareerInPharma, aimed at helping healthcare professionals and life science graduates transition into fulfilling corporate careers.
Empowering Healthcare Professionals for Transformative Careers in Pharma
CareerInPharma is proud to hold a 4.9-star rating on Google, backed by over 350 reviews. Additionally, the institute has achieved notable milestones across social media, surpassing 25,000 followers on both YouTube and LinkedIn, while building a strong community of over 16,000 followers on Instagram.
The institute currently offers a range of diploma programs, including clinical research, pharmacovigilance, clinical data management, drug safety physician training, and medical writing. Alongside these core courses, it provides training in soft skills and IT, specifically designed for doctors who may lack familiarity with technology. All programs are job-focused, with the institute offering ongoing support to participants throughout the interview process, ensuring they are well-prepared for their career advancement.
