Today’s guest, Dr. Madeline Edwards, is here to discuss why this is far from the truth. Dr. Edwards transitioned from a clinical role as an OB-GYN into a drug safety position at a pharmaceutical company by strengthening her resume with a few straightforward activities. She’ll share the steps she took to build her resume, what she does now, and how she overcame mental barriers along the way.
