Letter of Intent for USC-Mannkind Corporation Medical Affairs Fellowship

Dear Mr. Lai 

I hereby apply for the Medical Affairs Post-Doctoral Fellowship in USC-Mannkind Corporation. I heard about the program through a media platform, and since I am passionate and trained in the biopharmaceutical industry, I am interested in becoming an integral team member in the fellowship program. The program will enable me to develop professionally due to various job rotations, training, and scholastic and academic opportunities. The rotational opportunities related to the management of medical information and vendor programs, instigating and initiating trials, being part of medical congress planning and attendance, and engaging in phases 1 to 4 of designing, developing, and implementing decisions related to biopharmaceutical. The process is crucial in enhancing my profession in pharmaceuticals. Engaging in training for achieving scientifically balanced medical information and working with cross-functional staff in the company will allow me to contribute positively to the pharmaceutical industry. It will also allow me to be exposed to clinical research projects with external partners. This process can further improve my job delivery in pharmaceuticals. The fellowship will also allow me to benefit from the academic and scholastic opportunities offered in the corporation. Taking part in professional coursework, lecturing selective industry courses, mentoring, and teaching rotational students hosted by the firm will offer me a chance to improve and share my expertise in the pharmaceutical industry. 

Due to my diligence and desire to better understand pharmaceuticals, I have engaged in rotational programs in various health facilities. I have worked in hospitals such as Moreno Valley, Kaiser Permanente, Amgen, and Walgrens. In the healthcare facilities, I was able to learn about pharmaceutical and involvement in medical processes. I have collaborated with other pharmaceuticals specialists to learn about reviewing and evaluating the drug development process, drug-disease interactions, and medication reconciliation. I am a team-oriented and hardworking individual with the willingness and ability to work for long hours regardless of tenure related to the job opportunity. I have experience in the medical field since 2012. Since 2012, I have volunteered in various health care facilities such as Providence Saint Joseph, Roy, and Patricia Disney Family Cancer Center and Valley Presbyterian Hospital. In the aforementioned medical centers, I have engaged in various rotational medical activities such as observing clinical procedures, assisting patients as a pharmacy clerk, strengthening a liaison between patients and staff, and learning about conditions such as lymphoma and drugs on the patients. Through teamwork and hard work from my various working stations, I will collaborate with various stakeholders in the corporation, offer my due diligence, expertise, and share my training experience, engaging in the research and development process of drug discovery, design, and implementation. 

My primary purpose of applying for the fellowship program in USC-MannKind Corporation results from how they have scheduled their programs. The organization offers all-round individual development in the biopharmaceutical industry by offering training, scholastic and academic opportunities, and participating in its activities. Nonetheless, I was fascinated by the organization's vision and mission statement of fostering a vibrant culture in public services and encouraging learners from diverse geographical locations and cross academic in pursuit of knowledge. My short-term goals are to gain new experience that can allow me to improve on how I deliver my pharmaceutical activities. My long-term desires are to establish and maintain an active professional network in the biopharmaceutical industry that can lead to external opportunities. The program offers various activities ranging from rotational, training, and scholastic platforms, which are collaborative; thus, it will allow me to achieve both short and long-term goals, especially due to how it has been planned. 

I strongly believe in the corporation's mission and vision statement. Thus, I view that my experience, handwork, teamwork, and passion in the pharmaceutical field make me an ideal fellowship opportunity member. Thank you for your consideration, and looking forward to scheduling a time to discuss my qualifications. 

Sincerely
