We are thrilled to announce the completion of this year’s Value of Industry Pharmacists (VIP) case competition.

The VIP Case Competition is designed to simulate the real-world journey of a new drug product; teams developed a comprehensive plan that effectively translated a theoretically new molecular entity from “bench to bedside.”

With this year’s theoretical drug being a GLP-1 agonist (Vipaglutide) seeking an indication for the treatment of Obesity, we had the creative freedom to not only come up with our brand name (Xenbria) but to create the ultimate weight loss medication. We collaborated across clinical science, regulatory affairs, medical affairs, and marketing to understand the complexities of bringing meds to life. By collaborating and strategizing within these diverse areas, we gained invaluable insights into the complex processes that bring life-saving medications to patients. Huge thanks to Satchell, Kyla, Anne, Miguelia, Jeania, Oreoluwa, Jayda, and Emmanuel for their hard work in representing the Gamma Zeta Chapter in this year’s competition.
This 7-month experience aided in enhancing our professional, teamwork, and critical thinking skills.
