ACPM CLINICAL RISK MANAGEMENT FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM
ACPM is exploring the concept of developing a national Clinical Risk Management
Fellowship program that would support placement of postgraduate preventive medicine
physicians in a two-year fellowship program in pharmacovigilance. The goals of the
program would be to expose preventive medicine physicians to various aspects of global
product safety in a major pharmaceutical company and to provide direct training and
experience in how pharmaceutical manufacturers use data to support research,
development, adoption, and utilization of products.
The Clinical Risk Management Fellowship would prepare Fellows for a career in
pharmacovigilance and risk management in the pharmaceutical industry. This would be
done through a rigorous, hands-on training program that exposes the fellow to the
various aspects of global product safety in an industry setting.
Proposed Qualifications
Qualified candidates should be graduates of an accredited residency in Preventive
Medicine. Successful applicants would possess a medical degree (MD or DO), in addition
to an MPH or MS, preferably in Epidemiology. Prospective applicants should have
training in epidemiology and biostatistics from an accredited school and show a keen
interest in pursuing a career in Clinical Risk Management in the pharmaceutical industry.
Board certification in a medical specialty, at least 3 years of clinical experience, and
demonstrated analytic skills, as well as writing skills, are preferred.
