Regulatory Pharmaceutical Fellowship
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) partners with universities and colleges of pharmacy in the United States to offer FDA-affiliated fellowship programs to Doctor of Pharmacy graduates in several specialties. These programs serve to maintain and enhance a scientific link among FDA, academia, and the pharmaceutical industry. Participants receive regulatory-focused training in one of the specialized practice areas of drug information, advertising and promotion, or medication safety through the lens of three distinct practice settings over the course of two-years. These fellowships prepare graduates to pursue careers in the areas of government, academia, and industry.
Recruitment is closed for 2021-2023 positions. Information will become available for 2022 recruitment in the fall of 2021
