Sanofi’s pharmacy student internship program ran for approximately 15 weeks from July to last month and was designed to nurture future pharmaceutical researchers and provide opportunities for professional mentoring and practical experience in the global pharmaceutical industry. Following the inaugural internship program last year targeting 15 students from four institutions including Chung-Ang University, Ewha Womans University, Dongguk University, and graduate schools, this year the program expanded cooperation to six universities by adding Pusan National University and Duksung Women’s University.

During the internship, participants had the opportunity to understand various roles within Sanofi such as corporate operations, marketing, sales, clinical affairs, product approval, and quality through orientation and career talk programs. Mentoring and career lectures with Sanofi employees who are engaged in various activities after graduating from pharmacy school were also conducted, helping students resolve concerns and questions about their career paths after graduation. Notably, this program provided pharmacy students without prior pharmaceutical company work experience a chance to gain practical experience in the industry, enhancing their understanding of the sector and eliciting positive responses from both the internship participants and Sanofi employees.

Baek Kyung-eun, CEO of Sanofi-Aventis Korea (Country Lead of Sanofi Korea), stated, “The future of the domestic pharmaceutical industry depends on the new generation of talent,” and added, “We are pleased to introduce the global pharmaceutical industry to students who will lead the future medical field through this internship program and support their passion and capacity development.” He also said, “Sanofi will continue to contribute by operating various programs to nurture domestic pharmaceutical talent and support the development of the global pharmaceutical industry based on our expertise.”
