Why this is worth applying to
A strong non-clinical path for physicians with clinical experience who want to move into pharmacovigilance, but it is not entry-level and likely expects prior drug safety or PV exposure.

- Medical review of AEs/SAEs/ADRs
- Causality and expectedness assessment
- Aggregate safety reports (DSUR, RMP, PBRER)
