Ask us anything about… pharmacovigilance careers!
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
From signal assessor to researcher, QPPV and more, pharmacovigilance specialists play vital roles that differ widely based on their organisation and job title. But where should you begin if you're just starting your career or trying to break into the field?
For our next episode, we will be chatting to Myriam Salem, national compliance and enforcement supervisor at Health Canada, and Francesco Salvo, professor and pharmacologist at Université de Bordeaux, about careers in pharmacovigilance, including:
- What types of jobs are out there
- How to get started
- What skills you need to remain competitive
So here’s your chance to ask us anything! Text us your questions for Myriam and Francesco by Tuesday 30 June for a chance to feature on the show.
We look forward to hearing from you!
