Takeda Global Medical Affairs Fellowship:

Takeda Pharmaceutical Company is committed to striving towards better health for people and a brighter future for the world through the development and delivery of potentially life-transforming treatments. Takeda Global Medical Affairs (GMA) is part of Global Medical within the Global Portfolio Division. GMA supports the company mission by getting the right drug, to the right patient, at the right time. If you want to make a broader impact on the healthcare community, join our Global Medical Affairs Fellowship.

Global Medical Affairs at Takeda provides medical support across the asset lifecycle, from early clinical development to marketed products, in three areas, Gastroenterology, Neuroscience, and Rare Genetics & Hematology. The two-year Takeda Global Medical Affairs Fellowship Program is designed to prepare post-doctoral scholars for rewarding careers in the biopharmaceutical industry. Through hands-on experience, fellows will work with various cross-functional teams to learn the role of Global Medical Affairs, develop skills in the analysis, interpretation, and communication of clinical data, and expand their scientific knowledge to render clinical insights and contribute to meeting the needs of healthcare professionals.

In the first year, fellows will complete four 3-month rotations in Global Medical Information, Global Medical Communications, Global Publications and choose an elective rotation from a growing list of functions including Medical Excellence and Scientific Training, Medical Evidence Generation, Digital Innovation and Operational Excellence and Global Medical Leads. In each rotation, fellows will have the opportunity to work with staff across various geographies and learn to navigate the complex dynamics and team environment at a truly global pharmaceutical company. Fellows will be integrated into typical daily workflows of each functional area while also participating and potentially leading special projects and initiatives. In the second year, the fellow will select a specialty concentration in their area of interest and deepen their industry knowledge by owning and leading projects and initiatives. Throughout both years of the fellowship program, mentorship opportunities and one on one interactions with Global Medical Affairs leaders will be available.

Upon completion of the program, fellows will have both broad and deep experience in Global Medical Affairs and be well poised for the challenges of a career in the biopharmaceutical industry.

The fellows will primarily work at Takeda's office in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Northeastern University responsibilities will be carried out on the Northeastern Boston campus.
