2 Pharmadanmark: Ekspertviden og netværk på lægemiddelområdet Pharmadanmark har noget, som ingen anden fagforening har: Specialviden om lægemiddelområdet og et stærkt fagligt netværk og fællesskab. Som faglig organisation for cirka akademikere på lægemiddelområdet heraf studerende ser vi det som vores vigtigste opgave at sikre, at medlemmerne har de absolut bedste rammer for et godt arbejdsliv herunder de bedste løn- og ansættelsesvilkår, fagligt spændende jobs og mulighed for personlig udvikling. Gode løn- og ansættelsesvilkår kommer nemlig ikke af sig selv. Det er nødvendigt for den enkelte konstant at vedligeholde og udbygge sin viden og færdigheder. Derfor har vi bl.a. etableret en række stærke faglige netværk, hvor man får ny viden og sparring på sit område. Studerende ved lægemiddelfaglige uddannelser er vigtige for os. Derfor har vi skabt Studenternetværket, som er mødested for studerende ved de mange forskellige lægemiddelfaglige uddannelser landet over. Vi har også studenterambassadører på fire universiteter. Gennem dit medlemskab af Pharmadanmark får du masser af viden om det arbejdsområde, som din uddannelse retter sig imod. Derudover holder vi løbende arrangementer og kurser, som er målrettet studerendes behov og interesser. Vi hjælper dig også, når du er på vej mod dit første job, og så er der selvfølgelig en masse kontante fordele, herunder en af Danmarks billigste studenterforsikringer. Vi ved fra medlemsundersøgelser, at vores medlemmer føler, at de får noget ud af deres medlemskab, og at vi ligger absolut i top, når vi sammenligner med andre faglige organisationer. Det forpligter, og derfor forsøger vi hele tiden at udvikle foreningen og dens tilbud. I denne brochure kan du læse mere om, hvad vi har at tilbyde dig, når du bliver en del af vores stærke faglige fællesskab. Antje Marquardsen Formand, Pharmadanmark 2

3 Pharmadanmark: Expert pharmaceutical knowledge and networking Pharmadanmark has something no other professional association has: Specialist knowledge about employment within the pharmaceutical area. As the professional association representing approximately 6,000 pharmaceutical science professionals of which 1,500 are students we feel that our most important task is to ensure that our members have the optimal framework for a productive and positive working life including the best possible wages and terms of employment, challenging and professionally stimulating jobs as well as the potential for personal development. Good wages and favourable terms of employment have to be pursued. To achieve them, the individual member needs to maintain and develop their knowledge and skills throughout their career. To help drive this process, we have established a number of professional networks to provide our members with access to new knowledge and competent and professional discussion and feedback. Students on the pharmaceutical area are important to us. In order to help meet their needs, we have established a network open to students spanning the full range of pharmaceutical studies provided all over the country. Pharmadanmark also makes student ambassadors available at four different universities. Membership gives students access to a wealth of knowledge in the area of work specific to their particular training. Additionally, we regularly hold events and courses tailored specifically to student needs and interests. We re also there to help you when it s time to enter the job market as a pharmaceutical science professional for the first time. Plus, membership qualifies you to a number of specific financial benefits, including one of Denmark s cheapest student insurance policies. We know from surveys of our members that they feel that they derive positive benefits from their membership, and that, compared to other professional associations, we re one of the very best. That s a standard that we have to live up to, which is why we re continually looking at new ways to develop the association and the services we offer. This brochure can provide you with further and more detailed information about what benefits you can derive from joining our dedicated and effective professional association. 3

4 Vigtigt at have en faglig identitet Karen Schelde, 27 år, er specialestuderende på den nye uddannelse, molekylær medicin, ved Aarhus Universitet. Hun har været medlem af Pharmadanmark hele sin studietid. På en ny uddannelse som molekylær medicin er det helt afgørende, at der findes en forening som Pharmadanmark, der hjælper med at skabe en faglig identitet blandt de nye studerende. Jeg har brug for et sted, hvor jeg kan se, hvad jeg kan, hvem jeg er fagligt, og ikke mindst hvad det reelt er, jeg kommer til at beskæftige mig med bagefter. Her er medlemsbladet Pharma et rigtig godt sted at blive inspireret. Det er vigtigt for mig, at Pharmadanmark er en meget specifik forening, der kender min baggrund og min branche. Jeg føler, at de kan hjælpe mig, hvis det bliver aktuelt. Pharmadanmarks arrangementer og kurser undervejs og til sidst i studiet styrker virkelig den faglige identitet på studiet. Molekylær medicin er en ny og tværfaglig uddannelse, og derfor er det meget vigtigt at have nogle faglige aktiviteter. Det samler os som studerende og opbygger vores faglige identitet. Hvem er Pharmadanmark? Pharmadanmark samler akademikere på lægemiddelområdet og optager alle akademikere med en uddannelse, der retter sig mod lægemiddelområdet og studerende på disse uddannelser. Andre universitetsuddannelser giver også adgang, hvis man er ansat på lægemiddelområdet. Cirka 20 lægemiddelorienterede uddannelser er repræsenteret i foreningen, bl.a. farmaceuter, cand. scient er i humanbiologi, molekylær biomedicin, medicinalkemi og lægemiddelvidenskab. Pharmadanmark arbejder bl.a. for at sikre medlemmerne de bedste vilkår med hensyn til løn, ansættelse og karriereudvikling og for at sikre lægemiddelområdet og de ansatte en anerkendelse, der afspejler områdets centrale samfundsmæssige betydning. A professional profile is key Karen Schelde (27) is in the final year of her studies at Aarhus University where she s studying one of the newly established degrees: Molecular medicine. She s been a member of Pharmadanmark throughout her studies. For a new education like molecular medicine it s crucial that there s an association like Pharmadanmark that can help create an professional identity for new students. I need a place where I can go to see what my skills are, and, not least, what sort of employment opportunities there will be for me when I complete my studies. Pharmadanmark s members magazine, Pharma, is a great place to get that inspiration. It s important to me that Pharmadanmark has a narrow focus. They know my background and my sector. I feel that they ll be able to help me should I one day need assistance. The Pharmadanmark events and courses I ve attended during my studies have really helped strengthen our degree s professional profile. Molecular medicine is a new multi-disciplinary course, and that s why it s very important to ensure that there are professionally relevant activities for us to participate in. It brings us together as students and helps to strengthen our professional profile. 4

5 Det naturlige valg 26-årige Anders Riber Bojsen er stud. scient. pharm. på fjerde år og er en af de mange farmaceutstuderende, der er medlem af Pharmadanmark. Anders Riber Bojsen er også formand for Students of Pharmaceutical Sciences, der er de farmaceutstuderendes organisation på KU. Pharmadanmark er det naturlige valg for os. Det er en forening, der virkelig matcher vores fag, og desuden er der et stærkt samarbejde mellem Pharmadanmark og vores studenterorganisation. På den måde er Pharmadanmark virkelig med til at støtte op om den eksisterende faglige identitet på faget. Der er en masse konkrete fordele ved at være medlem af Pharmadanmark, såsom billigere forsikringer og forskellige rabatordninger. Derudover har vi adgang til mange former for rådgivning og hjælp, hvis der skulle opstå problemer, både i studietiden og senere hen. Pharmadanmark giver også adgang til netværk, som kan være nyttige, når man skal søge job. Der er også mange, der benytter sig af de kurser, som Pharmadanmark tilbyder for eksempel i studieteknik og josøgning. I det ugentlig nyhedsbrev Fredag Formiddag bliver man godt opdateret inden for faget, ligesom der også er stillingsopslag. The natural choice Twenty-six-year-old Anders Riber Bojsen is in the fourth year of his pharmaceutical science degree, and he s one of the many pharmaceutical students who have chosen to become a member of Pharmadanmark. Anders Riber Bojsen is also the chairman of Students of Pharmaceutical Sciences, the pharmaceutical sciences students representative organisation at Copenhagen University. Pharmadanmark is a natural choice for us. It s a professional association that really matches our specific professional needs, and Pharmadanmark and our student organisation work very closely together. By doing so, Pharmadanmark really helps to support the professional profile of our course. What is Pharmadanmark? Pharmadanmark brings together pharmaceuticals graduates and accepts as members all graduates with a degree that suits them to employment in the pharmaceuticals sector. The association further accepts students who are in the process of taking these degrees. Additionally, graduates employed in the pharmaceuticals sector who have a different academic background are also welcome as members. There are graduates with about 20 different pharmaceuticals-relevant degrees represented amongst Pharmadanmark s membership, including pharmacologists, human biology graduates, molecular biomedicine graduates, medicinal chemistry graduates and pharmaceutical sciences graduates. Pharmadanmark works to protect its members interests, and these include their wages, terms of employment and career development opportunities. Furthermore, the association works to secure the pharmaceutical sector generally and the persons employed within it recognition commensurate with the central role that they play in our society. There are also a lot of immediate financial benefits to membership, including cheap insurance and a variety of other discounts and offers. Additionally, we benefit from access to a number of different forms of consultancy and assistance should we need then during the course of our studies or at a later date. Pharmadanmark is also a great place to network, and that can be important when it s time to start looking for your first job. Lots of people take advantage of the courses that Pharmadanmark makes available including their courses in study technique and job application skills. Plus, there s the weekly newsletter Fredag Formiddag (Friday Morning) that provides us with the very latest professional information along with job adverts. 5

6 Godt rustet til den rigtige jobsamtale Morten Mikél Jensen, 27 år, er nyuddannet farmaceut, cand. pharm., og står som så mange andre unge over for udfordringen med at finde et job. Det meste af studietiden har han været medlem af Pharmadanmark. En af mine medstuderende i samme situation anbefalede mig Pharmadanmarks jobtræningskursus, da vi var ved at være færdige med studiet og skulle til at søge job. Jobtræningskurset giver virkelig nogle brugbare redskaber, der stiller dig bedre i forbindelse med en jobsamtale. Det har jeg allerede fået afprøvet ved rigtige jobsamtaler. Man bliver godt forberedt på, hvad man skal sige og ikke sige. Desuden får man gode råd til at udforme sit cv og skrive en skarp ansøgning, der øger chancen for at komme til samtale. Begge kursets to dele er effektive, og man afprøver blandt andet realistiske interviewsituationer med folk fra lægemiddelindustrien. Det er et meget brugbart kursus, og man kan godt mærke, at Pharmadanmark er det naturlige valg for os farmaceuter. De repræsenterer i højere grad mine interesser end de andre muligheder på markedet. indh ld. 6 annonce_pharmadanmark _outline.indd 2 30/05/

7 Ready for a real job interview Morten Mikél Jensen (27) is a newly qualified pharmaceutical scientist, and, like many of his fellow students, he s now faced with the challenge of applying for a job. He s been a member of Pharmadanmark during most of his studies. One of my fellow students, who was in the same situation as me, recommended Pharmadanmark s job training course when we were about to finish our studies and it was time for us to start looking for a job. The job training course really provides some extremely useful tools that can help you gain an additional advantage in a job interview situation. I ve already benefitted from some of them in actual job interviews. It s important to consider what things to mention and, just as importantly, what not to mention, before you start your interview. Plus, they provide expert guidance on how to structure your CV and write a truly professional application that can help boost your chances of getting an interview. The course s two segments are very effective, and you get the chance to try out some realistic interview situations with pharmaceutical industry professionals. It s a course that really helps on a practical level, and it s immediately obvious why Pharmadanmark is the natural choice for us pharmaceutical science students. They have a better grasp of what matters to me than the other associations I could have chosen to join. vores studium også senere hen med henblik på netværk og stillingsopslag. Jeg vil klart anbefale de nye studerende at blive medlem, når de begynder. Better study technique after Pharmadanmark s effective course From the first day of her molecular biomedicine studies at University of Copenhagen, Anna Kathrine Obelitz Rode (20) was in contact with Pharmadanmark. She quickly decided to enroll and took advantage of one of the association s study skills courses. Bedre studieteknik med Pharmadanmarks effektive kursus Allerede fra de første dage på studiet i molekylær biomedicin ved Københavns Universitet kom Anna Kathrine Obelitz Rode, 20 år, i kontakt med Pharmadanmark. Hun meldte sig hurtigt ind og deltog i kurset om studieteknik. På mit studium er der meget tungt læsestof, som kan føles lidt overvældende at give sig i kast med, især når man er ny. I et af de første nyhedsbreve fra Pharmadanmark omtalte de kurset i studieteknik, og sammen med en veninde, der læser til farmaceut, tog jeg med. Det var et rigtig godt kursus, hvor vi fik mange effektive og konkrete redskaber til for eksempel notatteknik og læsning af faglitteratur. Foredragsholderen var meget dygtig og havde forståelse for de udfordringer, der er på vores fag. I dag har jeg stadig den baggrundsviden og de teknikker, jeg lærte på kurset, og kan tage det frem og bruge det efter behov. Vi var mange nye studerende, der blev medlemmer, og man kan godt mærke, at Pharmadanmark har faglig relevans for My degree features a lot of very dense texts that we just have to work through. That can get a bit overwhelming at times when it s all new to you. In one of the first newsletters I received from Pharmadanmark there was an item about the study skills course, and I chose to enroll along with a friend who is studying pharmacology. It was actually a really good course that gave us lots of practical and effective tools that have made a great difference to my note taking and reading patterns, amongst other things. The course provider was very professional and really had an insight into the sort of challenges that students like us face. Today, I retain the background knowledge and techniques I learnt on the course and I can make use of them as and when I need to. A lot of the new students decided to become members, and it s obvious that Pharmadanmark is relevant for us professionally, and that it will be of benefit to us at a later stage in our studies when it s time to start thinking about networking and job advertisements. I d definitely recommend membership to new students, right from the start of their courses. 7
