Founder of the Physician Nonclinical Career Hunters Facebook group, to break down something most physicians overlook when pursuing pharma: the clinical experience they already have and don't know how to sell. Dr. McKain walks through five specific types of experience that pharma hiring managers actually look for, how to frame everyday clinical work in industry language, and how to build a credible resumé without a single day of pharma employment. She also describes her online physician community, the Pharma Industry Special Interest Group (PISIG), for those specifically targeting pharma and biotech careers, where members learn, present, and build portfolios together. And she provides a free handout with a sample resumé and interview language. You'll find links mentioned in the episode at nonclinicalphysicians.com/land-your-first-pharma-job/
