The Established Products (EP) Physician Fellow is an associate member of the EP Clinical and Medical Team assigned to a one-year term (may be extended to include a second year of fellowship) rotating through multiple functional groups within EP within J&J Innovative Medicine.

The goal of the fellowship is to (1) develop leadership, clinical, and medical technical skills in drug development and life-cycle management and (2) gain an understanding of the role of a physician in a pharmaceutical company.

The EP Physician Fellow is assigned to Therapeutic Area Portfolio(s) and supports the Clinical and Compound Development Teams (CDTs) to maximize the value of the portfolio(s). The EP Physician Fellow will be a valuable colleague to work with the extended EP community through rotations with the Clinical, Medical Safety, Medical Affairs and Regulatory Affairs teams.

The fellow will spend up to 70% of their time working with functional coordinators and rotation mentors during each of their 15-weeks functional rotations (except Regulatory rotation which will be a 3-week rotation).

The goal of the extension would be to gain additional practical experience and to complete clinical/medical projects as needed. Rotation coordinators and fellowship supervisor will assess candidacy for second year based on business needs and fellow performance and will communicate accordingly to fellow in order to plan for next steps to ensure a smooth transition into second year fellowship or off-fellowship to a permanent employment.
