Testimonials
"Drug Development was a good overview of the industry as a whole and provided the opportunity to focus on different aspects from therapeutic areas, to drug marketing, to specific pharmaceutical companies. This course helped solidify much of what I had learned secondarily or inferentially through my experience in the industry but also helped provide context and additional content." (May 2019)
