Episode 63: Beyond the Fellowship: Supportive Offboarding at USC
Episode 63
Tuesday, 30 June, 2026

On this podcast episode, we spotlight our IPhO Annual Meeting Premier Sponsor, the USC Mann Pharmaceutical Industry Fellowship Program. We are joined by Michael Lim, USC Fellowship Director; along with former fellows Keya Patel, who transitioned from Gilead's Global Medical Affairs HIV Prevention Fellowship to a Global Medical Affairs strategy role in HIV Treatment; and Trey Graham, who transitioned from AbbVie's Medical Affairs Evidence Planning and Execution Fellowship to a Dermatology Medical Science Liaison role. Michael, Keya, and Trey discuss the USC fellowship experience, highlighting the program's supportive structure, professional development opportunities, and resources that help fellows successfully transition into full-time roles. They also share practical advice on taking initiative, setting expectations with preceptors, building meaningful professional relationships, and maximizing the fellowship experience. Whether you're just starting pharmacy school, finishing your fellowship, or preparing to launch your career, this episode is packed with insights you won't want to miss!
