Foreningen af Læger i Erhvervslivet (OLE)

IFAPP annoncerer 4 legater til dækning af kurser i Pharmaceutical Medicine (PM), heraf tildeles to af legaterne ansøgere fra foreninger tilsluttede IFAPP, heriblandt OLE.

Siden 1976 er der oprettet 10 diplomkurser i Pharmaceutical Medicine forskellige steder i Europa. OLE's bestyrelse anbefaler medlemmer at overveje at søge tilmelding til et af disse kurser for karrieremæssigt at være på højde med også andre akademikergrupper i medicinalindustrien, der i stigende grad nationalt og internationalt søger disse kurser.

Kursusprogram og varighed varierer, men i princippet er udgangspunktet den 2-årige basisuddannelse i PM ved Faculty of Pharmaceutical Medicine i UK.

En oversigt over kurserne kan ses på OLE's hjemmeside, hvor også ansøgningsformular kan findes.

Tilbuddet henvender sig til læger <40 år med gode engelskkundskaber og dokumenteret interesse for Pharmaceutical Medicine. Ansøgningen skal sendes til IFAPP's sekretariat senest 28.02.02. Yderligere information kan fås hos Lena Ejbye Schmidt, formand for OLE.
