AMCP Foundation/Pfizer Inc. Managed Care Internship
Pfizer Inc., in partnership with AMCP Foundation, will support AMCP Foundation/Pfizer, Inc. Managed Care Internship. Its goal is to develop future leaders in managed health care through activities that expose interns to population health and the application of managed care pharmacy principles in formulary management, benefit design, medication therapy management, and adherence management.
Working directly with pharmacists and other health care team members, interns will gain an appreciation of how managed care pharmacy principles seek to maximize health care resources and patient care outcomes. Four student pharmacists are selected for the internship through a nationwide selection process.
