Pharmacy Fellowship Programs

The purpose of the Butler University Pharmacy Fellowship Programs is to develop the next generation of global patient safety leaders. Through the cooperation of three partners representing academia, the pharmaceutical industry, and the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA), fellows will actively participate in various aspects of pharmaceutical innovation, use optimization, and global safety.

Fellows will have the opportunity to seek specialized areas of training including, but not limited to pharmaceutical innovation, safety culture, human factors, clinical guidelines, error detection and analysis, leadership frameworks, risk mitigation strategies, supply chain security (substandard and falsified medications), and evidence-based policy.

All fellows will learn best practices in teaching and education from award-winning faculty at Butler University in addition to training with leading experts in the pharmaceutical industry and at the USFDA.  For information on the various fellowships offered through Butler University, please see below.

 

This program includes Butler University, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, and The Office of Medication Error Prevention and Risk Management (OMEPRM) at the USFDA. This program will have one (1) position available for a two-year term (July 2023 through June 2025).

Fellows will begin with the academic sector at Butler University from July–October 2023. They will then move into the industry sector, working with Regeneron Pharmaceuticals from November 2023–October 2024. Finally, fellows will learn from the regulatory sector, partnering with the Food and Drug Administration from November 2024–June 2025.

Applications open on October 5, 2022 for the 2023–2025 recruitment cycle and close on November 4, 2022. Please email rxfellowships@butler.edu with any questions you may have.

Office of Medication Error Prevention and Risk Management (OMEPRM) includes Division of Medication Error Prevention and Analysis (DMEPA) and Division of Risk Management (DRISK). DMEPA looks to minimize medication errors in the U.S. healthcare system. As part of the FDA preapproval process for new drug products, we review proposed proprietary drug names, container labels and other labeling, packaging, product design, and human factors protocols and study results to prevent medication errors. We also monitor and analyze medication error reports for marketed products to determine if regulatory actions such as labeling revisions or product redesign are needed to address reported errors. DRISK reviews all proposed REMS, REMS modifications, and REMS assessments for all products with approved REMS for conformance with current FDA standards.
