Pharmacy Consultant Internship

The MJ Companies exists to inspire the success, fulfillment, and wellbeing of each person we serve: our associate and their families, business partners, clients, and the community. This statement drives everything we do, and we are committed to your personal fulfillment and professional success. 

About the job:  

Spend 10 weeks with MJ’s MagniPhy Pharmacy Solutions team learning how pharmacy benefits, healthcare consulting, data, and client service come together. Work alongside pharmacy consultants, analysts, and employee benefits professionals. You will contribute to selected projects, meetings, research, and client materials with guidance from the MagniPhy team. You will also complete a capstone project on a current pharmacy benefits topic and present your findings and recommendations to the MJ team. 

Essential functions 

What You Will Learn and Do 

• Learn the basics of pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), employer-sponsored and self-funded health plans, pharmacy pricing, specialty pharmacy, clinical programs, and consulting. 

• Join selected team, client, PBM, and vendor meetings to see how pharmacy consultants approach real business and healthcare challenges. 

• Work with pharmacy claims data, industry research, and market information to understand how the team develops pharmacy benefit recommendations. 

• Explore how cost, clinical outcomes, operations, and the member experience are considered when evaluating pharmacy programs. 

Your Capstone Project 

• Complete a focused capstone project related to a current pharmacy benefit, clinical, financial, operational, or market opportunity. The MagniPhy team will help select a topic that connects business needs with your interests. With coaching from a pharmacy consultant or analyst, you will learn how an existing process, tool, or workflow is used; gather input from team members; review relevant information or data; identify opportunities to improve efficiency, consistency, clarity, or usefulness; and present your findings and practical recommendations to the MJ team. You will receive guidance throughout the project and will not be expected to redesign a consulting process or make final strategic decisions on your own.

• Currently enrolled in a PharmD, Healthcare Administration, Public Health, Business, Data Analytics, Finance, Economics, Actuarial Science, or related degree program. 

• PharmD students entering their P3 or P4 year and undergraduate or graduate students interested in healthcare, analytics, employee benefits, managed care, or consulting are encouraged to apply.
