Hi, my name is Patricia…
I’m a 20-year-old undergraduate in the field of molecular and technical medicine and I come from the Black Forest, Germany. This is my first internship in the pharmaceutical industry. I previously did an internship at the Institute for Medical Diagnostics in Berlin. It is very interesting to spend 11 months in an international company, gaining new knowledge of its activities and processes.
During my typical work day…
there is always a lot to learn. Basically, I am responsible for the key performance indicators. These are important to ensure that open GMP documents, such as deviations, are finished on time. A typical week also includes checks of equipment orders from production and their entry into the release system. By doing this, I support the routine activities of the QA Manager in compounding. In addition, I accompany my colleagues in periodic floor presence. This gives me the opportunity to get to know the company better and to learn how to deal with GMP questions. Besides my daily business, I attend seminars, meetings on different topics, and gain insight into other projects.
