Managed Markets Fellowship
The Managed Markets Fellowship, offered by University of the Sciences through a generous grant from Genentech (a member of the Roche Group), is designed to provide opportunities for graduating USciences seniors and recent alumni to develop core knowledge in managed care markets through coursework, mentoring, and real-world experiences.
