This month, the BDCS team has been focused on putting together the 2021-2022 BDC Survival Guide. From reaching out to MBDC graduates, BDC graduates and fourth years we are aiming to gain insight on career advice, different perspectives about post-graduate pathways and how to succeed in the BDC program, respectively. We’ve gotten great feedback from graduates and fourth years. Our VP Mentorship (Victoria Tyndall) and our VP Academic (Alessio Giovannoni) have been working hard to put the content together and are excited to share the survival guide in the months to come.

Dear BDC Students,

Welcome to the BDC Society! My name is Sam Li, and I’m this year’s BDCS president. Alongside my dedicated team, we’ll be bringing you new events, initiatives and resources this year to enhance your experience in this unique program. Our goal is to support your academic, professional and personal growth while you’re here in this program! Feel free to explore our website to learn about who we are and what we have to offer.

Jasmine Yang (VP External) of the Biomedical Discovery & Commercialization Society (BDCS) sat down with John Burrows, the Vice President of BioPharm at NovoNordisk, to discuss current and future trends in the pharmaceutical industry and how BDC graduates can leverage their skills in the post COVID-19 climate.
