The FILS events are open to current graduate student (MBA, MPH, JD, Eng, 
Ph.D., MD etc,), post doctoral fellows, or medical residents, interested 
in learning about the variety of career paths ranging from R&D, 
consulting, commercial, business development, marketing, clinical, 
regulatory, medical affairs, bioinformatics, systems biology, modeling, 
pharmacoeconomics, reimbursement, patient advocacy, market access, 
finance, legal, and operations. We believe that the career paths that 
exist in the Massachusetts Life Science Industry are numerous, exciting, 
and rewarding and that it is imperative that students considering these 
careers be well informed regarding the areas that their education and 
training are relevant. Together, Propel Careers, MassBio, and MassBioEd 
are committed to fostering the next generation of industry leaders in 
the life sciences. We look forward to seeing you there!

The year-long program provides in-depth overviews of specific careers in 
the life science industry that often require advanced degrees. We have 
focused on covering the various functional areas in the life sciences 
sector including, R&D, consulting, commercial, business development, 
marketing, clinical, regulatory, medical affairs, bioinformatics, 
systems biology, modeling, pharmacoeconomics, reimbursement, patient 
advocacy, market access, finance, legal, and operations. Most graduate 
students and post-docs are well prepared to take numerous directions in 
their careers, and it is our intent to provide a comprehensive 
understanding of the aptitudes and work environments that are associated 
with specific career paths, so that the individuals who attend these 
events can make more informed career decisions. We are also big 
believers in the power of connections and networking, so each seminar 
will have specific time set aside to meet the presenters and the 
attendees and to develop relationships that will be an asset to those in 
attendance.
