Alex Marshall (Class of 2017) was selected for the AMCP Foundation/Pfizer, Inc. Managed Care Pharmacy Summer Internship Program. Only four student pharmacists are selected for the internship annually through a nationwide selection process at four different employer sites across the country. This program provides students with exposure to population health and the application of managed care pharmacy principles in formulary management, benefit design, medication therapy management and adherence management. As a part of the structured ten-week internship program, Marshall will be involved in the daily activities of managed care pharmacy practice at Prime Therapeutics in Eagan, Minnesota. The selected interns will also work with Pfizer Medical Outcomes Specialists and the AMCP Foundation that expose them, respectively, to the pharmaceutical industry and a professional membership society. Through the program, students will work directly with pharmacists and other members of the healthcare team to maximize health care resources and patient care outcomes.
