Description

Evidence 2 Impact (E2I) Internship - AstraZeneca

Medical Evidence Intern
Join us as we strive for leadership in generating rigorous, innovative, and quality decision-grade evidence to improve patient outcomes.

Description role:

The Medical Evidence team at AstraZeneca Canada is responsible for planning and delivering observational research and clinical studies across various therapeutic areas.

Studies are completed in collaboration with Canadian academic or clinical researchers, or research institutions, to address evidence gaps relevant to our internal or external partners.

For example, administrative data sources may be analyzed to describe treatment patterns, healthcare resource utilization, and clinical outcomes for a particular patient group in Canada.

This intern will support the Medical Evidence Team on new or ongoing real-world evidence (RWE) studies.

Responsibilities may include supporting the design, analysis plan, results interpretation, and dissemination as part of a local study team with oversight from the study lead.

It is expected that some of these studies that the intern supports will help to support health technology assessment (HTA) submissions.

Benefit to the Student:

This internship will give one student exposure to evidence delivery, digital health, and RWE studies, as part of a Global biopharmaceutical company.

The focus areas may serve the functional areas such as market access (e.g., for public reimbursement), pricing, and scientific affairs (e.g., collaborating closely with key clinical experts) to support the drug life cycle across various phases and/ or to understand treatment patterns and patient outcomes in the real-world setting.

The use of observational research methods for RWE is a growing field, both in Canada and abroad.

In addition, the student will expand their skills as part of a multi-disciplinary team that may include collaboration among epidemiologists, research methodologists, health economists, clinical experts, clinical liaisons, and project managers.

Working with a diverse group of individuals in the team, will allow the student to gain exposure to different perspectives, and different study designs, that will challenge and expand their own development and skills.

As well, the student will have the opportunity to learn and work in a dynamic and fast-paced industry environment; thus, exercising effective time management and prioritization, attention to detail, handling of large quantities of information (with sensitive and/or confidential content) in an accurate and appropriate manner; and an independent work ethic.

Namely, the student should demonstrate the ability to problem solve independently but seek assistance and/or additional resources when necessary. This position will serve well for those seeking a future position in the pharmaceutical industry.

Recently graduated or currently completing a Masters/PhD level program in Epidemiology, Health Research Methodology, Public Health Sciences, Biostatics
