My job at Octapharma USA, Associate Director of Medical Affairs for Immunology, gives me the opportunity to interact with the brightest minds in our field. It is immensely exciting and rewarding. My role is to foster existing relationships with key opinion leaders in immunology, critical care, and hematology as well as to forge new connections. Just imagine the opportunity to build bonds with luminaries from a variety of disciplines, as I have done over the course of several clinical trials, studies of new and different indications, and development of new specialty areas. We share ideas and educate each other. It is the most interesting and fulfilling job I could ask for.

As a company, Octapharma USA is continually growing and evolving. We are constantly researching and developing studies for innovative ways to treat patients and enhance patient care. We regularly initiate and complete new clinical trials. These, in combination with research conducted by individuals not affiliated with a pharmaceutical company, called “investigator initiated” studies, allow me to interact with HCPs from a variety of different backgrounds and specialties. This is particularly important for me because it allows me to further my clinical and scientific knowledge and become well-versed in multiple therapeutic specialties. I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with different departments within the company, including National Accounts and Marketing, initiate advisory boards, submit abstracts, and make presentations at various conferences. In short, my work at Octapharma USA has enabled me to continue to develop and broaden my own skills and expertise while at the same time contributing to the advancement of several specialty disciplines.

In my opinion, Octapharma USA is a great place to work. The culture is family-oriented and supportive, with strong managerial leadership at the helm. A job with Octapharma is a door that can lead to many opportunities, so long as you are willing to take advantage of the wealth of knowledge and resources that the company provides. I have been encouraged to challenge myself and stay at the forefront of developments in the field. This is reflective of the trust that Octapharma has in its employees and the commitment it has to seeing us grow professionally.
