AMCP Foundation/Pfizer, Inc. Oncology Summer Internship Program
The Pfizer, Inc., Oncology Organized Customer Field Medical Team, in partnership with the AMCP Foundation, will support the new AMCP Foundation/Pfizer, Inc. Oncology Internship Program. Its goal is to develop future leaders in managed health care through activities that expose interns to population health and the application of managed care pharmacy principles via concepts such as formulary management, benefit design, medication therapy management, and adherence management with a focus on oncology.
Working directly with pharmacists and other members of the health care team in oncology, specialty pharmacy, or related business units, interns will gain an appreciation of how managed care pharmacy principles maximize health care resources and patient care outcomes. Two student pharmacists will be selected for the internship through a nationwide selection process.
Internship Details

In addition, interns will be matched with virtual preceptors and present capstone research projects at AMCP Nexus 2021. This immersive experience will round out their introduction to the managed care pharmacy profession and transform their career plan.
