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. The purpose of the Regulatory Pharmaceutical Fellowship program is to train selected candidates in one of four tracks focused on drug information, medication safety, regulatory advertising & promotion or regulatory affairs and policy. The program provides participants with the unique opportunity to learn from mentors in their chosen specialty track across three diverse settings in government, academia, and industry. Graduates of the fellowship program are qualified to pursue careers in any of the three practice settings.
Recruitment is closed for 2022-2024 positions. Information will become available for 2023 recruitment in the fall of 2022.
