Program History Pharmacy
In 1984, at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy and two
pharmaceutical companies began a first-of-its-kind collaborative pilot program to evaluate the potential
contributions of clinically-trained pharmacists within a pharmaceutical industry practice setting. Following the
successful pilot, the Rutgers Pharmaceutical Industry Fellowship (RPIF) Program grew significantly and
expanded to include 27 companies within the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industry and approximately
350 Fellows.

In 2002, Dr. Ernest Mario generously provided an endowment to establish the Institute for Pharmaceutical
Industry Fellowships to enhance and promote the role of pharmacists in industry through the RPIF Program.
The Institute staff members:
● provide leadership and administrative support
● promote quality, communication, scholarly activity, and professional development
● arrange specialized Fellowship training opportunities within the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical
industry.

In 2018, our Program expanded to offer interdisciplinary Fellows’ training by adding select physician Fellowship
opportunities to our well-established program.

The RPIF Program has thrived under the leadership of the founder, Dr. Joseph A. Barone, Dean and Professor II
of the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy, Dr. Carolyn Seyss, the Director for the Institute for Pharmaceutical
Industry Fellowships, and Dr. Michael Toscani as the Director Emeritus.

The RPIF Program Certificate is now associated with special credentials so our alumni can now proudly identify
themselves as RUCIF (Rutgers University Certified Industry Fellow). Well over 1,500 Post-Doctoral Fellows
have completed the RPIF Program, most of whom are experiencing influential and rewarding careers in the
pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industry throughout the US and abroad. The RPIF Program has
Preceptors and Mentors from industry who share their knowledge and experiences with the Fellows through an
intense but closely-guided training program. Assignments and projects are challenging, meaningful, and
designed to enhance understanding of the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industry and the Fellow’s
functional area(s). Our goal is to provide the environment for Fellows to build the foundations to fuel their careers
as future leaders in the industry.
