In this solo masterclass, John breaks down how pharma companies are structured, which divisions actually hire physicians, and what it takes to land a first role. He walks through the major departments: clinical development, medical affairs, and safety/pharmacovigilance. And explains the role contract research organizations (CROs) play in hiring physicians faster than pharma companies often do directly. Six real examples from this podcast's guests illustrate how physicians without residency training, board certification, or research backgrounds broke into roles ranging from safety scientist to medical science liaison to primary investigator.
