The drug development fellowship program is different from conventional internships that are widely done in the pharmaceutical industry." HanAll stated through a written interview with Reporter Viva, on Wednesday, December 7, 2022.
In this program, there are four types of activities, each activity has a time level of 6 months. The four activities include Clinical Stage Project Work (PM), Business Development, Pre-clinical/CMC, and Management Operations and Clinical Trials.
Two Indonesian Doctors in Fellowship Program
This program provides an opportunity for doctors in the world to have analytical skills in the drug development process, then, there are two doctors from Indonesia, namely dr. Soraya Nabila graduated from the Faculty of Medicine, Gadjah Mada University, Indonesia, and dr. Irina Aulianisa is a last-semester college student at the Graduate School of Public Health, Seoul National University, South Korea.
Both Indonesian doctors became the first batch of the two-year fellowship program. It is known, at the end of 2023, HanAll plans to open another batch. They successfully participated in the presentation selection with the title "Screening Tools for Depression and Anxiety", and received official acceptance news 2-3 weeks later.
According to dr. Soraya, the fellowship program provides an opportunity for doctors like herself to contribute to developing and creating new drugs.
"I’ve now been given the chance to contribute to creating new drugs, which allows me to make a greater impact on people’s health. This is a new path for me." dr. Soraya stated in a written interview.
Meanwhile, dr. Soraya said that for Indonesia itself, there are not many Fellowship programs for the pharmaceutical sector like this. Even if there are, the program only targets pharmacists, not doctors. "I considered this a wonderful opportunity for me to learn and grow."
In joining this program, many facilities are gotten, such as monthly salary and opportunities for Fellows to learn about the Drug Information Association (DIA).
"Besides monthly salary and active participation in all of HanAll’s meetings with the experts and leaders, I also learned about biopharma company from DIA (Drug Information Association)," dr. Irina explained.
“DIA is a global association that mobilizes life science professionals from all areas of expertise, providing a complete package of learning modules, particularly in the biopharmaceutical area.” She added.
