Our CredoWe believe our first responsibility is to the patients, doctors and nurses,
to mothers and fathers and all others who use our products and services.
In meeting their needs everything we do must be of high quality. We must
constantly strive to provide value, reduce our costs and maintain reasonable
prices. Customers’ orders must be serviced promptly and accurately. Our
business partners must have an opportunity to make a fair profit.
We are responsible to our employees who work with us throughout the world.
We must provide an inclusive work environment where each person must
be considered as an individual. We must respect their diversity and dignity
and recognize their merit. They must have a sense of security, fulfillment
and purpose in their jobs. Compensation must be fair and adequate and
working conditions clean, orderly and safe. We must support the health
and well-being of our employees and help them fulfill their family and other
personal responsibilities. Employees must feel free to make suggestions and
complaints. There must be equal opportunity for employment, development
and advancement for those qualified. We must provide highly capable leaders,
and their actions must be just and ethical.
We are responsible to the communities in which we live and work and to the
world community as well. We must help people be healthier by supporting
better access and care in more places around the world. We must be good
citizens–support good works and charities, better health and education, and
bear our fair share of taxes. We must maintain in good order the property we
are privileged to use, protecting the environment and natural resources.
Our final responsibility is to our stockholders. Business must make a sound
profit. We must experiment with new ideas. Research must be carried on,
innovative programs developed, investments made for the future and mistakes
paid for. New equipment must be purchased, new facilities provided and new
products launched. Reserves must be created to provide for adverse times.
When we operate according to these principles, the stockholders should
realize a fair return.

Former Fellow Testimonials
I attribute much of my post-fellowship success to my enriching experience at J&J. The program enabled me to establish meaningful relationships with leaders across the enterprise and propelled my career in the pharmaceutical industry. As an alumna of the prestigious RPIF program, I have found that the unmatched network continues to serve me well as I grow in my profession.
“
”
My Janssen fellowship in Commercial Insights and Strategy provided me with valuable experience and development needed to launch my career on the commercial side of the pharmaceutical industry. In this fellowship I worked on multiple projects related to launching a new drug and received exciting exposure to different functional areas in the company. The fellowship was the perfect foundation to set me up for success as I transitioned into my commercial role.
“
”The industry component at J&J coupled with the academic exposure at Rutgers allowed me to actively use my PharmD knowledge in both a teaching environment and a customer-focused business setting. The program is unique in its emphasis on providing a comprehensive program and a tremendous network that develops fellows into innovative thinkers. While many years have passed since I completed my fellowship, I remain connected to the program as alumna and mentor because I believe this program is valuable in building a deep bench of pharmacy leaders that will change the way industry brings transformational medicines to patients.

Rutgers Pharmaceutical Industry Fellowships
Program History
In 1984, at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy and two pharmaceutical companies began a collaborative pilot program to evaluate the potential contributions of clinically trained pharmacists within a pharmaceutical industry practice setting. Following the successful pilot, the Rutgers Pharmaceutical Industry Fellowship (RPIF) Program grew significantly and expanded to include 21 companies within the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries and over 200 fellows annually.
In 2002, Dr. Ernest Mario generously provided an endowment to establish the Institute for Pharmaceutical Industry Fellowships to enhance and promote the role of pharmacists in industry through the RPIF Program. The Institute staff members:
• provide leadership and administrative support;
• promote quality, communication, and scholarly activity; and
• arrange specialized fellowship training opportunities within the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries.
Recently, in 2018, our program expanded to offer interdisciplinary fellows’ training by adding select physician fellowship opportunities to our well-established program.

2019 RPIF Program Certificate
More than 1,000 post-doctoral fellows have completed the RPIF Program, most of whom are pursuing influential and rewarding careers in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries throughout the US and abroad. The RPIF Program has preceptors/mentors from the industry who share their knowledge and experiences with the fellows through an intense, but closely guided, training program. Assignments and projects are challenging, meaningful, and designed to enhance understanding of the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries and the fellows’ functional area.
Professional Development Series
All fellows gather at Rutgers once or twice monthly as a group to participate in the Professional Development Day (PDD) Series, an important component of their training that complements the hands-on experience provided at the partner companies. The PDDs are steered by a committee of fellows and are designed to enhance the fellows’ presentation skills and emotional intelligence, promote connectivity and a sense of community among fellows from different companies and disciplines, develop new skill sets under the guidance of external trainers, and provide general knowledge about various aspects of drug development and issues facing the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries.
The fellows learn from each other through individual and group presentations and debates on topics and issues related to the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries. This dynamic forum provides an opportunity for open discussion and debate among fellows, Rutgers faculty, and company preceptors. In addition, outside experts provide training and professional development in a variety of areas (eg, tools for corporate success; professional writing, presentations, meeting facilitation, negotiating, influencing, networking, and conflict resolution skills; giving and receiving feedback; and business and dining etiquette). Other PDD guest speakers include senior industry executives, patient advocacy groups, and successful RPIF Program alumni who share their insights and experiences. Importantly, PDDs provide an excellent opportunity for fellows to interact with each other and develop lasting personal friendships and a strong professional network of fellows, faculty, alumni, and other industry executives.
