"I was able to take on the management of a project around improving safety surveillance of antiretroviral drugs and see it through to completion. The meeting discussions were subsequently published in a joint paper that I co-authored. This experience was very positively received by employers because it immediately becomes clear that the work the Forum does is really cutting edge. Now I use the background I gained at the Forum on a day-to-day basis in my work on pharmacovigilance."
