Opening Doors: Niha Yerneni on Finding a First Medical Affairs Position
Opening Doors episodes of the MAPS Elevate Podcast Series give Medical Affairs professionals the opportunity to tell the story of how they found their way into the profession and to offer advice to others seeking Medical Affairs positions. Here MAPS co-founder, Kirk Shepard, speaks with Niha Yerneni, Medical Scientific Affairs Manager at Ironwood Pharmaceuticals about joining Medical Affairs and, among other ideas, whether a person with recent postgraduate degree (MD, PhD, PharmD) can be successful in immediately seeking a position in industry or if fellowship or other industry training opportunities are necessary gatekeepers for entry.
