Xcenda, part of AmerisourceBergen, is a global healthcare consulting organization focused on helping manufacturers prove the inherent value of lifesaving products and helping patients gain access to these innovative therapies.

Xcenda offers a number of unique opportunities for students pursuing a career in managed care, industry, consulting, or academia. Depending on their interests, students completing a fellowship, rotation, or internship at Xcenda will gain exposure and contribute to a variety of work types in collaboration with our health economics and outcomes research, medical communications, real-world evidence generation, market access, and market research teams.

We value our continued collaboration with your university and would appreciate your help in sharing the updates below with any PharmD candidates who may be interested in our student programs.
