While earning her pharmacy doctorate at Mercer University, Sonya Martin trained with a small pharmaceutical company in Atlanta. She wanted to work in the business side of the industry.
When her preceptor, an experienced guide and mentor, told her about the Rutgers Pharmaceutical Industry Fellowship Program, Martin, who also holds an M.B.A., saw it as the perfect way to find her niche in the industry.
Founded nearly 25 years ago at Rutgers’ Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy, the fellowship program has grown to become the largest, most competitive program of its kind in the nation, according to Joseph Barone, chair of the Department of Pharmacy Practice and Administration at the school and one of the program's founders.
“Just saying you are a Rutgers Fellow gives you an edge against your competition,” Martin says.
