AMCP Foundation/AbbVie Inc. Specialized Summer Internship Program in Health Outcomes
AbbVie, Inc., in partnership with the AMCP Foundation, supports the AbbVie Inc. Specialized Summer Internship Program in Health Outcomes for two student pharmacists. The program’s goal is to stimulate student pharmacists' interest in career options in health outcomes and pharmacoeconomics through exposure to research, measurement, and applications to evidence-based decision-making. In addition, the interns will gain knowledge of the pharmaceutical industry, managed health care systems, a public charity with AMCP Foundation, and a professional membership society with AMCP.
