“This internship allowed me to be exposed to a plethora of opportunities to expand my knowledge on managed care. I was able to participate in several research projects and lead a few of my own. I was able to learn at a comfortable pace, and I had several opportunities to utilize my skills. I led Journal Club sessions, educational webinars, and represented the AMCP Foundation on several ventures during this period. There was no limit to what I was able to do, and I was able to boost my knowledge on managed care principles such as outcomes research, budget modeling, formulary management, and much more. After this internship, I have a clear understanding on how pharmacists can operate in a managed care setting.” — Nikhil Bhatia
